We’ve published two new case studies.
• “The Gender Equality Index UK: what does gender equality look like in the UK today?”
In the United Kingdom, despite considerable progress over past decades, gender inequalities persist alongside deepening regional inequalities. Evidence suggests that socioeconomic outcomes vary not only across the four nations, but also between neighbourhoods within the same local authorities.
The Gender Equality Index UK (GEIUK) is the first index to comprehensively measure, map and analyse the socioeconomic outcomes of women and men across all 372 local authorities in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Caitlin Schmid, from the Global Institute for Women’s Leadership at King’s College London, introduces the GEIUK which provides the most detailed picture, to date, of how gender and geography intersect to shape inequalities across the UK.
• ”How we ask can shape what we know: a framework for classifying climate change questions used in public opinion surveys”
John Kenny from the Tyndall Centre introduces his climate change public opinion research and how his framework is shaping the design of European public opinion surveys.
The framework for climate change public opinion survey questions is already influencing how major European research initiatives design their studies. It has guided research into youth attitudes and the social dimensions of the green transition, leading to its use in question design for modules within cross-national surveys now being implemented across Europe.
