Gender Equality and Quality of Life

Does the gender equality in the family life, at school, in the labour market affect our health, a sense of happiness, well-being and life satisfaction? What is the role of gender equality in creating an egalitarian society? How should we shape the public policies so as to promote the development of equal and egalitarian society?

We are inviting you to join a discussion, exchange know-how, ideas and views on the gender equality and quality of life during the conference
