    Gender Imbalances in European Regions

    The Territorial Agenda 2020 highlights that Europe faces challenges with regard to aging and depopulation in several regions including rural and peripheral ones.

    On growth and social cohesion the Europe 2020 objective of inclusive growth is asking at the same time for the implementation of policies to promote gender equality and to increase labour force participation.

    Hence, gender imbalances are not only an issue for gender politics. They are both an effect of territorial developments and structures, and a condition for future growth of regions having an impact on social and territorial cohesion.

    This month ESPON presents a map on gender imbalances in European regions from the ESPON Targeted Analysis SEMIGRA. The map shows the number of women in the age group 25 to 29 per 100 men of the same age group in 2008.
