COMPARISON OF GENDER POLICY CONCEPTS IN EU AND EURASIAN ECONOMIC COMMUNITY COUNTRIES

Abstract

Gender inequality is at the root of many barriers to sustainable development and the complexity of the road to democratization. In spite of attempts of all states of the region to achieve liberalization of all spheres of life population, gender inequality is still present not only in the social life, but also in other areas of society. Obviously, no area of life cannot be completely gender neutral, but gender imbalance destructively affects such sectors as the economy, political and management activities, culture and so on. Modern state can progress or achieve higher rates of development only when both men and women have the right to equal opportunities.
