| Zusammenfassung: | Gender equality has been one of ERA’s priorities for more than a decade. In 2021, most Member States and Associated Countries renewed and reinforced their commitment to gender equality by endorsing the Ljubljana Declaration. The Ljubljana Declaration is a main reference in the ERA Policy Agenda – specifically in ERA Action 5 focusing on gender equality and inclusiveness. In total 22 Member States and three other countries committed in a written statement to ERA Action 5.
Compared to the previous ERA period (2015-2020), there is now a more detailed description provided by the European Commission of what is expected from Member States that have committed to pursuing gender equality and inclusiveness. As there is no requirement to formulate a national action plan as in the previous ERA period, there is only limited information available regarding MS/AC priorities, objectives and planned or implemented measures.
To gather comprehensive data on strategies, objectives and measures related to gender equality in the ERA, a survey was conducted among members of the ERA Forum Subgroup Gender and Inclusiveness.
The second WP5 report describes which ERA Action 5 targets have been adopted at national level, which measures are being implemented and whether and what information is being collected on the implementation of measures. It demonstrates that not all objectives are supported by measures and, conversely, that in most countries there is a lack of information on the implementation of measures in those areas addressed by the objectives.
