12 1.8 Restricted call for proposals to national authorities on closing gender gaps over the life cycle - work-life balance for women and men - a better sharing of care European Commission Status: aktiven Datum objave: Rok prijave: :00:00 Brussels time rgen-wwlb-ag- 2019;freeTextSearchKeyword=;typeCodes=1;statusCodes= ;programCode=REC;program DivisionCode=null;focusAreaCode=null;crossCuttingPriorityCode=null;callCode=Default;sortQue ry=openingdate;orderby=asc;onlytenders=false;topiclistkey=topicsearchtablepagestate Specific objective: to promote equality between women and men and to advance gender mainstreaming. The restricted call for proposals will focus on the gender gaps over the life-cycle, looking at worklife balance for women and men, including through a better sharing of care. The aim is to support Member States in raising awareness and tackling gender stereotypes with regard to roles in work and in private life, and in particular with regard to reconciliation issues (including the promotion of the uptake of family-related leaves by men), taking into account national specificities, complemented by EU broad common messages. In this respect, the call for proposals aims to support measures which will not only have consequences on the short term with regard to better work life balance for all workers, but would also allow more women to (re)enter the labour market and tackle the gender pay and pensions gaps. Ultimately it aims at supporting men and women to make informed choices throughout their life and to promote good practices in companies. At aggregate level, better work-life balance helps men and women to be able to work and continue to work in combination with their private care responsibilities. More equal economic independence at all ages means higher employment rates for men and women and a more sustainable and potentially longer working life for all EUR The EU grant applied for cannot be lower than EUR. Maximum possible rate of co-financing of the eligible costs 80%. To be eligible, grant applications must comply with all of the following criteria: (a) applicants must be: - the national authority in charge of the policy on gender equality or work life balance; or - the body responsible for gender equality at national level only if no applications are received by the national authority referred above; or - another national authority only if no applications are received by the national authority and the body referred above; Partners must be public entities or private organisations, duly established in one of the countries participating in the Programme, or international organisations; (b) the project can be either national or transnational; (c) the application may involve one or more organisations (applicant and partner(s)); VEDOMA_NepovrSredstva_Aktualno_4april2019_EUsto.doc 12/16
