CPop contribution towards Sustainable Development Goal 5
CPop contribution towards Sustainable Development Goal 5
5.1 End all forms of discrimination against all women and girls everywhere
CPop is committed to tackling sexism and gendered ageism in cultural artefacts, social policy, institutions and society by identifying and bringing attention to biological, social and cultural differences between the genders throughout the life course.
5.4 Recognize and value unpaid care and domestic work through the provision of public services, infrastructure and social protection policies and the promotion of shared responsibility within the household and the family as nationally appropriate
CPop challenges the widespread assumption that only paid work contributes to the wealth of a nation, by including a focus on caring responsibilities and domestic work, with important implications for social policy.
5.C Adopt and strengthen sound policies and enforceable legislation for the promotion of gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls at all levels
CPop produces multidisciplinary research engaging with gender differences in life course and how these impact women’s and men’s ageing; these findings are of great relevance for policy and legislation.
