• Gender Equity, Leadership and Ageing
Summary
Gender equity is an educational, cultural and economic challenge that requires actions aimed at building a Gender Equality Culture Transition Plan (GEC TPlan). This is needed as women’s and men’s rights, responsibilities and opportunities do not depend on whether they are born female or male.
A roadmap needs to be conceived that can accompany the identification of gender equity as a constitutive component of the political, economic and social life in our countries. The roadmap must include actions involving individuals, workplaces, communities.
The proposal for the IACE Hall of Fame Working Group is to work together on four “building blocks” that are helpful for the future GEC TPlan. This is a collective work that should bring together the converging results of many research and reflection groups.
The Florence meeting can be the opportunity to reflect on the kind of concrete actions that could be designed and implemented for the year to come.
The proposal takes into consideration the longevity as a mainstream focus.
We propose four possibilities of cooperation below:
a. Identification of indicators connected to management models and embedded learning in the productive processes, enabling to monitor individual and organizational gender equity-oriented behaviours
b. Verification of the possibility to utilise indicators to reinforce gender certification within organisations (USA, Europe)
c. Setting up a model of training pathway for international micro-credentials to fight against economic violence of women in lifelong perspective (employed women, women preparing for retirement and for new subsistence methods, women in old age)
d. Evaluate the possibility to devote one dedicated Call for Papers connected to specific Journal(s). Restricted discussion events and proposals for social and political actions may be built based on that
