Special Eurobarometer 428: Gender Equality

The report presents the results of a survey carried out in the 28 Member States of the European Union in December 2014. Some 27.801 respondents from different social and demographic groups were interviewed face-to-face at home in their mother tongue. Results have been compared with the 2009 survey where possible. Where appropriate, a variety of socio-demographic variables – such as respondents’ gender, age, terminal education age, occupation and ability to pay household bills – have been used to provide further analysis. Other key variables that have been used to provide additional insight include respondents’ views: about how widespread gender inequalities are in their country; on whether they think equality between men and women is a fundamental right; on whether tackling gender inequality should be an EU priority.

The results by volumes are distributed as follows:

• Volume A: Countries
• Volume AA: Groups of countries
• Volume A' (AP): Trends
• Volume AA' (AAP): Trends of groups of countries
• Volume B: EU/socio-demographics
• Volume B' (BP) : Trends of EU/ socio-demographics
• Volume C: Country/socio-demographics
