Research and Study Group "Comparative Study of the Situation of Women and Men in Public Authorities"

The Research and Study Group 'Comparative Study of the Situation of Women and Men in Public Authorities' was established in 2018.

We aim to compare the roles and status of men and women in the Russian government with their roles in foreign governments. The results will enable us to make recommendations for the human capacity development of male and female government employees.
