Gender and Policy Analysis - An Interdisciplinary Approach

Gender and Policy Analysis: An Interdisciplinary Approach presents a groundbreaking interdisciplinary exploration of how gender policy is shaped, implemented, and challenged in a rapidly evolving global landscape. The volume draws together leading scholars from sociology, political science, economics, law, and other fields to analyze the persistent barriers and emerging opportunities for gender equity. It addresses the challenges of integrating gender perspectives into policy-making, emphasizing the importance of intersectionality, representation, legal frameworks, and economic empowerment. Through focused case studies-from women''s labor force participation gender balance in civil aviation, to the gender pay gap in sports and barriers for women in STEM and renewable energy-the book illuminates the nuanced realities faced by women and marginalized groups across diverse societies. It also examines recent legal developments, such as the 2025 U.S. executive order defining gender in binary terms, revealing the contentious debates at the heart of contemporary gender policy. Aimed at academics, policymakers, and advocates, this volume offers practical insights and innovative approaches for designing and implementing inclusive, forward-thinking gender policies aligned with global Sustainable Development Goals. In doing so, it fosters a comprehensive understanding of gender equity as both an ethical imperative and a catalyst for sustainable societal advancement.>
