Institutionalization of Gender Equality Politics and Current Gender Gaps in the Baltic States ; Lyčių lygybės politikos institucionalizavimas ir dabartiniai lyčių skirtumai Baltijos šalyse
The common reference to the Baltic States as a single geopolitical entity conceals the actual differences between Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. The article aims to outline the principal similarities and differences between Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania in the field of gender equality politics developed within gender mainstreaming approach in attempt to better understanding of the current gender gaps in these countries. The research focuses on how national gender equality machineries were (re)constructed in accordance with international commitments to the UN and the EU after the restoration of independence in the Baltic States. It is demonstrated that differences between the Baltic States in the institutionalization of the contemporary structure of gender equality machinery were overcome once they became EU members. The current outcomes of gender equality politics are described on the basis of the Global Gender Gap Report 2017. The empirical data are provided for three Baltic States by analysing their gender gaps in four spheres ñ Economic participation and opportunity, Education attainment, Political empowerment and Health and survival. According to the Global Gender Gap Index, the Baltic States are among the EU Member States with the average / slightly above-average gender equality. The article argues that confirmation of the institutionalization of the contemporary gender equality machinery, the content of national governmental activities and the predominant relationship model with civil society in the Baltic States indicate that gender mainstreaming is likely yet another and the most recent social policy tool for the management of human resources. Thus, Latvia usually demonstrates a minimal attachment to gender mainstreaming. Moreover, Latvia has regressed somewhat in this respect in 2013. However, current Latvia can be considered as having more equality than Lithuania and Estonia. Among all countries participated in the research in 2017, Latvia ranks 10th, Lithuania, accordingly, 12th, and Estonia, accordingly, 16th. The case of Latvia levering the rank up due to positive trends in closing gender gaps in both Economic Participation and Opportunity and Political Empowerment subindexes confirms an assumption that rather social changes related to national demographical and economic development than merely technocratic sophistication of gender equality politics has a profound impact on current statistical indexes related to gender equality

Lyčių kvotos bendrovių valdybose ; Gender quotas in company boards
Gender Quotas in Company Boards This paper focuses on the analysis of the legal regulation of gender quotas and the importance of balanced gender representation on company boards. Taking into account that ensuring gender balance in decision-making is one of the priorities of gender equality policy and democracy, the importance of rules governing the legal relationship between gender quotas will only increase, and with it – the legal challenges for various states. This Master Thesis consists of three main structural parts. In order to disclose which management body is subject to gender quotas, the understanding of board representation and what are the most common theories of representation is analysed in the opening chapter of the thesis. Also, a lot of attention is paid to the lack of representation of both genders on company boards, addressing gender quality issues. The concept of gender quotas, their significance for democracy and good governance, and the ways in which gender quotas are implemented are also analysed. The second chapter of the thesis analyses the legal regulation and application problems of gender quotas in different countries, as well as provides statistical data that helps to understand and evaluate the actual functioning of legal norms. After the analysis and evaluation, the peculiarities and problems of the application of national legislation are identified, and possible solutions of the problems are considered. In this part of the thesis, the analysis of the state legal regulation is aimed at revealing practices that could be applied to the formation of the governing bodies of Lithuanian companies from a gender perspective. The third chapter of the thesis, based on representation theories, examines the importance of gender representation on company boards for shareholders, stakeholders, democracy and good corporate governance and analyses the impact assessment procedure introduced by the EU.
