Fifty years of Nordic gender equality work
2024-10-25 This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Nordic Council of Ministers’ decision to establish official co-operation between the Nordic governments on gender equality issues. »
Nordic Information on Gender (NIKK) is a co-operation body under the Nordic Council of Ministers. We gather and communicate knowledge about policy and practice, facts and research in the area of gender equality and equal rights for LGBTI people with a Nordic and cross-sectorial perspective.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Nordic Council of Ministers’ decision to establish official co-operation between the Nordic governments on gender equality issues.
To make wise choices for the future, it is important to know the history that many build on. NIKK is therefore publishing an anniversary publication.
Today, women in the Nordic countries are among the most active labour market participants in the world, but the goal of equal conditions in the labour market is far from being achieved.
The Nordic Council of Ministers has therefore commissioned the publication “Towards Pay Equity: Regulation, Reporting and Practice in the Nordic Region.”
