 France: facilitating gender mainstreaming by defining relevant indicators in OPs

Picture credit: EIGE. https://eige.europa.eu/gender-mainstreaming/methods-tools/gender-statisticsIn France, the horizontal principle of gender equality has been adopted through a dual approach in the national ESF OP for ‘Growth and inclusion’. The use of sex-disaggregated indicators across all French ERDF and ESF OPs facilitates gender mainstreaming throughout programme implementation. These indicators measure the participation of women and men by providing sex-disaggregated information on outputs and results.

Informed by sex-disaggregated data, analyses that consider women’s and men’s different situations and needs in the country lead to targeted actions to champion gender equality. They include, for instance, measures in the ESF OP to enhance women’s employment, training, education and entrepreneurship. The French ESF has sex-disaggregated output and results indicators for all three of its priorities: employment, professional paths and poverty. Gender equality is a key principle for project selection.

Results indicators[1] in the French ESF OP include:

  • numbers of women and men who are in employment, including self-employed, after their participation;
  • numbers of women and men participants in employment above the age of 55, including self-employed, after their participation;
  • numbers of women and men participants in training or studies after their participation.

Output indicators include:

  • numbers of unemployed women and men participants;
  • numbers of women and men participants over the age of 55;
  • numbers of economically inactive women and men participants;
  • numbers of women and men participants below 25 years of age;
  • numbers of women participants below 25 years of age;
  • number of women participants who are on maternity leave or re-entering the labour force.
