The social construction of femininity and masculinity plays a key role in sport. However, sport can also be used as a means to achieve gender equality through the promotion of values such as fair play, non-discrimination and teamwork. It can also be used to increase opportunities for girls.
Education is a catalyst for social change and necessary to build societies that respect human rights. Education is needed to give women and men the skills to secure steady, well-paid jobs to avoid social exclusion. Gender equality in education is focused on gender-based choices across study fields, gender stereotypes and gender differences in educational achievements.
Many phenomena experienced by young people are deeply affected by gender. In certain areas it is young women who are disadvantaged, while in others it is young men. Young women are for example more likely to be affected by low pay and precarious employment, while young men more frequently have trouble in the educational field.

European research still shows a significant underrepresentation of women, particularly in the ‘hard sciences’ and in leadership positions. Highly skilled women in the EU are left out, which is a considerable loss of talent. Gender equality in research is therefore not only about fairness, but also necessary to fill gaps in the EU’s labour market.
