In many countries, significant efforts have been made to promote girls’ and women’s educational enrolment in sciences and technology as a way to break occupational segregation. Germany’s Girls’ Day and New Paths for Boys initiatives have been successful in influencing the vocational and careers choices of boys and girls.9 Spain has enacted a specific action plan for equality between women and men in the information society (see Box 3.2). Like those in the private sector, women in the public sector are more likely to work part-time than men (although male participation in part-time employment has also increased in OECD countries (Ibid). Legislative changes (the Constitutional Act 3/2007 of 22 March for Effective Equality between Women and Men), followed by a concrete action plan (the Strategic Plan for Equal Opportunities 2008-2011), have greatly contributed to those results.
