#WomenEd Campaign: Flexible Working in Education
This isn't just a perk - it’s essential for many women with disabilities or caregiving responsibilities. EU research highlights that parenthood disproportionately impacts mothers in the labor market due to unequal caregiving burdens (GEI, 2019).

#WomenEd Campaign Spotlight: Gender Pay Gap in Education

Despite women dominating the education workforce, a significant pay gap persists - even in regions with structured pay scales.

The gap widens with:
📏 Increasing school size
📚 The higher/more senior the education levels
