[item title="Short Abstract"]
Gender equality is high up the agenda of many western countries. This is not only a matter of fairness as men and women nowadays have the same constitutional rights, but also from a business perspective. Equal (paid) labor participation would lead to more consumption and investments and thereby boosting the global GDP. Further-more, any hindrance of the best possible distribution of talents hampers societie´s growth. As the shares of women in leadership are especially low, many arguments point in the direction of discrimination and the public´s focus is on policys addressing this issue. Yet, academia provides many further explanations beside discrimination, e. g. insufficient family policies and malfunctionings in childcare services, risk aver-sion, personal career choices and differences in preferred fields. The mere focus on discrimmination can lead to discourse failure and in turn to bad/ inefficient policy out-comes.
In my dissertation project I focuss on the ‘blind spots’ of the gender debate, arguing that gender equality is not equality in numbers.
