| Popis: | Despite extensive efforts to reduce gender inequality, considerable gender bias can still be found in the Icelandic labor market. Women are at a disadvantage and as a result improvements are called for to e.g. close the wage gap and eliminate the gender bias in senior management. An influence map has revealed the key factors and relationships that contribute to this complex issue. The strongest contributors are the gender wage gap, family responsibility, women’s professional advancement in organizations, and gender stereotypes. This study aims to systematically identify a collection of measurements to form a gender equality scorecard that can serve as a numerical indicator of the level of balance between women and men in the Icelandic labor market. The research questions are: Which measurements, collectively presented in a gender equality scorecard, effectively represent the level of balance between women and men in the Icelandic labor market? and What is the level of balance between women and men in the Icelandic labor market according to the gender equality scorecard? The resulting gender equality scorecard and collection of numerical measures presented are the main contribution of this study. The gender equality scorecard can be used in research of the gender balance and how it evolves. It can also have a practical application for anyone, working on eliminating the gender imbalance in the Icelandic labor market, be they the government or labour market participants. |
