The master's thesis deals with women's rights and gender equality in the public and private sectors in Slovenia and Norway. The aim of the research was to analyse the legislation and the actual state of gender equality in both countries, and to identify successful practices that could contribute to improving the position of women in Slovenia.
In the theoretical part, the thesis presents the development of women's rights, the concept of gender equality and key challenges such as gender stereotypes, the pay gap, women's access to management positions and work-life balance. The empirical part compares the situation in Slovenia and Norway and analyses the legislative measures of both countries. Norway is one of the leading countries in the field of gender equality, as it successfully reduces the gender gap through quotas, strict anti-discrimination legislation and parental leave policies. Slovenia has a good legal basis, but in practice it faces a lack of implementation of legislation, which limits progress in ensuring gender equality, especially in the private sector.
The results of the analysis show that Slovenia could improve the position of women by introducing gender quotas in both sectors and by introducing stricter measures for equal pay, greater transparency in employment, actively promoting a more equal sharing of family responsibilities and stricter control over the implementation of gender equality policies. The task thus contributes to a better understanding of the challenges, and offers concrete solutions for reducing gender inequality in Slovenia.
