Essays on Nordic welfare resilience in crises
2024-11-27 How can Nordic countries develop their welfare based on needs today and in the future? This is the subject of four newly published texts written by researchers.
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.
How can the Nordic countries develop welfare and welfare services based on important needs both today and in the future?
This is the subject of four texts, which have been accepted for publication as essays, written by researchers. The essays are based on research on care workers and invisible labour, care of older adults in the Nordic countries and care choice reforms, private health insurance, parental leave and childcare, and crisis and risk communication.
NIKK is now looking for more projects that can contribute to the Nordic benefit!
NIKK distributes funds to promote Nordic co-operation and gender equality on behalf of the Nordic Council of Ministers. Dialogue and co-operation are cornerstones of Nordic co-operation. The Nordic Gender Equality Fund provides an opportunity to do just that.
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.”
This year marks the end of the Nordic Council of Ministers’ programme Sustainable Living in the Nordic Region.
NIKK has produced several reports within the programme and presented the results at the Sustainable Living Summit in Stockholm on 15 October.
During the spring, the twelfth call for proposals for the Nordic Gender Equality Fund was launched. Of the 35 project applications received for this year’s fund, eight of them were granted funding.
This year’s call from the Nordic Council of Ministers included an earmarked effort for projects that focus on gender equality in climate action in the Arctic.
