Based on key provisions of the OECD Recommendation on Gender Equality in Public Life, the Toolkit focuses on institutionalising gender equality and gender mainstreaming; developing and sustaining gender mainstreaming capacity; integrating gender considerations into various dimensions of public governance; establishing inclusive accountability structures; and supporting gender balance in all state institutions (executive, legislative, and judiciary) and structures and at all levels. In doing so, it highlights the role of stronger governance and accountability for gender equality in improving the gender-responsiveness of public policy, as well as policy actions to increase gender equality in public institutions. It also features the strategic use of governance tools to promote gender-equal and inclusive outcomes. In addition, this Toolkit introduces reflections on the intersectional approach to gender equality and trends in the future of work, as relevant to the evolution of gender equality policies in OECD countries.
