| Summary: | This study examines the gender profile
of the Russian Federation through a comprehensive review of
the current literature (1248 publications on gender issues
throughout the transition decade) on the conditions of women
and men and on the gender disparities in a number of
indicators. The report pinpoints the areas in which
inequalities exist and attempts to estimate the
consequences. It focuses on the analysis of the
distribution of gender roles in the socio-economic sphere,
the gender differentiation of human development indicators,
the gender aspect of legislation and law enforcement
practice, and gender aspects of political representation. |
