On the way to gender equality Progress in gender equality

Neuchâtel, 03.11.2008 (BFS) - Progress towards equality of women and men over the past two decades is evident in different areas: many more women are gainfully employed, their level of education is drawing increasingly closer to men's and they have gained entry into many political bodies. These findings are taken from a booklet published jointly by the Federal Statistical Office (FSO) and the Federal Office for Gender Equality (FOGE) to mark the 20th anniversary of the FOGE.
