This project outlines the impact of the European economic crisis on gender equality. In this article, I will try to present findings regarding gender equality in the field of paid work and unpaid work, while focusing on key areas such as employment, unemployment, sectoral segregation and working conditions. Furthermore, I will try to explain what the gender differences in income poverty are and how the European Union intends to address issues related to gender equality, in the midst of the economic crisis. Finally, I will analyse, discuss and draw conclusions from the data collected by distributed questionnaires, I will note the problems and limitations of the study and give my personal opinion.A.
