Equal Opportunities for Women and Men in the Education and Training for Health Professionals – EQUOTE
European Commission: Leonardo da Vinci Programme
The main aim of the EQUOTE project was to survey, both quantitatively and qualitatively, the initial and vocational training conditions and opportunities offered to women that wish to embark in a health profession. In parallel, the project aimed to examine the relationship between the training status and employment opportunities for women health professionals.
Systematic, reliable, accessible, harmonized, sex-disaggregated datasets were constructed and for that purpose a data collection form has been developed to collect data from universities and training institutions across Europe. The collected data were analysed, encoded and compared so as to assess the undergraduate, postgraduate and retraining position of women vs. men in health professions training institutions. Data were also analysed on the employment/unemployment status of women in health professions.
Prolepsis has undertaken precisely the task of the statistical analysis which was a core activity of the project with the objective of facilitating comparisons between countries, policy convergence and the implementation of equal opportunities policy in the health sector.
