Mind the gap
‘Women and men are employed in different occupations and industries, and under different contracts, their pay is often different and they spend different amounts of time on paid work.’

Concluding remarks
Gender differences go beyond employment, pay and working time
Improvements in physical risks, skills use and discretion and employability – led to reduction of gender gaps – still small: more can be done
Psychosocial risks (work related ASB and emotional demands) are on the increase: we must keep talking about it
Mixed occupations have better job quality: break stereotypes and develop job quality strategies favouring gender mainstreaming
(Under)valuation of work must be addressed: unpaid work, female work, etc.
Men and women do not share the same job quality profiles: employment and labour market policies must have a gender mainstreaming approach
