Read more at Feminist Perspectives on Teaching Masculinities looks at teaching non-hegemonic forms of masculinities and highlights their diversity. We conclude with the results and perspectives of the project we consider most important (Chapter IV). After summarizing common problems and points of critique, best practice examples are presented. Based on analyses presented in the Country Reports, we give an overview of materials and measures of occupational education, if available also with a focus on men in care occupations (Chapter III). We consider this a necessary step to understand the structural and cultural framework conditions of the countries where measures are to be implemented.
We start with a comparative panorama of the national background structures of the countries involved (Chapter II: labour market and gender segregation, paid and unpaid care work, education). Gender stereotypes in teaching materials are given special attention. Moreover, the report can show in detail, which countries manage -or fail- to implement measures to increase the share of men in care professions. This applies in particular to the area of care work, which is highly feminized. It reveals enduring horizontal gender segregation on the labour market and in the systems of vocational education. This report is a transnational synthesis of analyses carried out in the six countries involved in the project BiC.
