Gender Equality has not yet been achieved in many western countries. Switzerland in particular has failed as a forerunner in integrating women in politics and economy. Taking Switzerland as a case study, the authors critically reflect the state of gender equality in different policy areas such as education, family and labour.

They also outline the gender(ed) effects of recent changes and reform strategies for scientists, politicians and practitioners.
