Gender Roles in Southeastern Europe

Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to describe gender-role attitudes in Southeastern Europe within the wider context of European countries by means of data from the European Value Study (EVS) conducted in 2008. This comparative perspective has the advantage of giving reference points when looking at values and attitudes in individual countries or country groups. There is also a disadvantage to this approach as this broad overview entails that the description of each country will be very superficial. This approach is, thus, meant to complement the preceding chapters in this book, most of which have more narrow foci.
