Sometimes the best way to get into a big topic is to sit down and talk about it.
Good news! We’ve joined the podcast community with our new ‘Gender Equali-tea’ podcast.
Ahead of the Gender Equality Forum 2026 on 17 November, we are bringing EIGE’s research out of reports and into conversation.
We take our in-house data and insights and blend them with external perspectives on some of the biggest issues facing and shaping gender equality today.
So, what are we talking about?
We’ve kicked things off with a first episode on EIGE’s work on gender equality and competitiveness. We ask, can gender equality help Europe grow? And what are the many moving parts to help the EU accelerate its economic ambitions?
A little food for thought before the Forum? Press play.
Further down the line we’ll turn to care – as far as who provides it, what happens when care responsibilities are unevenly shared and what that means for the labour market and the wider economy.
And then we turn to parental leave: it may look good on paper, but does it actually work for parents in practice – and particularly for fathers?
To help us answer these questions, we are joined by voices from policy, business, academia and beyond. Together, we try to make sense of the bigger picture.
Conversations to come
Future episodes will continue exploring the connection between gender equality and competitiveness, including conversations on skills, innovation and investment.
So, whether you are deeply immersed in gender equality policy or simply curious about how these issues affect everyday life, pull up a chair, get your cup of tea and listen in.
