Gender Equality Plans in Italian Universities: A First Descriptive Analysis
Abstract
The present paper explores the implementation of Gender Equality Plans (GEPs) within Italian Universities. The aim of the paper is to produce a first comparative analysis of selected institution to assess if the elaboration of more comprehensive GEPs, and therefore the effort of Italian universities in addressing gender equality in academia, may depend on the share of woman researchers and top-management present in the institution itself. To do so, twelve universities’ GEPs has been selected based on the universities’ geographical location (north, centre, south) and the share of women among research and top-management staff. Through a simple descriptive analysis of the content of the GEPs and the gendered data on universities’ research and top-management staff, the paper found that there is no significant relation between the comprehensiveness of the measures implemented by a GEP and women presence among research and top-management staff. In addition, the analysis also funds no relation between the comprehensiveness of the measures implemented by a GEP and the geographical location of the institutions consideredDownloads
