Men and Women in the Workplace
Are there differences between men and women in the Dutch workplace? Join this interactive lecture and learn more about (differences in) career opportunities for men and women in the Netherlands. Part of the 'Introducing the Netherlands' series. (English / SG-Certificate*)
Time: 15:00-16:00 hrs.
Admission is free. Registration no longer required.
Egalitarian country?
The Netherlands is generally perceived as a truly egalitarian country. On this view, it would appear to be a foregone conclusion that in Dutch society women have the same career opportunities as men. In actual practice, however, differences between men and women in the Dutch workplace remain considerable. For example, it is mostly men who occupy leadership positions, and far more women than men work part-time to combine their careers with family life and homemaking.
Dutch workplace
In this lecture, we will discuss these and other differences between men and women in the Dutch workplace and assess the extent to which the Netherlands can indeed be considered a genuinely equal-opportunity country.
