Comparing Gender and Media Equality across the Globe

GEM, a research project led by the University of Gothenberg, has culminated in an open-access book: Comparing Gender and Media Across the Globe: A cross-national study of the qualities, causes and consequences of gender equality in and through the news media.
It covers the nature, causes and consequences of gender inequality. It also provides free access to several major datasets from: (Global Media Monitoring Project, The Global Report on the Status of Women in the News Media, and The European Institute for Gender Equality, EIGE) as well as a selection of other key context variables – measures of gender equality in society, women’s political representation, and economic development. The data set also includes the GEM-index, which is a composite index measuring the level of gender equality in news media content in different countries.
