The National Programme for Equal Opportunities for Women and Men 2010 – 2014 presents policy commitments to gender mainstreaming in Lithuania. A considerable number of measures are targeted towards improving the situation for women and men in the labour market. In particular they are aimed at: 1) improving opportunities for labour market reintegration for women and men returning to the labour market after childcare leave, for older people, and rural women; 2) organising training promoting motivation to work; 3) promoting equal treatment of women and men in the labour market; ensuring that equal opportunities for women and men in the labour market are integrated into social partnership and dialogue; 4) reducing the gender pay gap.
