The discussion paper “Gender (In)Equality Over the Life Course: Evidence from the Generations & Gender Programme,” edited by Anne H. Gauthier, Irena E. Kotowska, and Daniela Vono de Vilhena, explores gender inequalities across various life domains using data from the Generations and Gender Survey. It examines topics like fertility decisions, the division of unpaid work, sterilization practices, grandparenthood and female employment, and gender inequality in late-life loneliness and depression. The findings emphasize the incomplete nature of the “gender revolution” and the persistence of gender disparities in both private and public spheres, with significant cross-national differences. The report underscores the importance of cross-national data like GGP for understanding and addressing gender inequalities across life courses.
