Despite the presence of relatively good statistical sources, many important indexes and numbers are still missing or can only be assembled through much work. For example, we would like to know more about the main factors in the gender gap in mortality, the main patterns of gender segregation, and the composition of research and the level of gender research investment. 2. Other data not easily found include: men’s mapping of household time use; work hours for relevant groups of men / women; wages and breadwinners in relevant sectors, different levels, job types; couple (married, cohabiting household income composition (his/her share) by relevant job variables (sector, level, job type, pay).
Gender legislation is yet at the formative stage, as shown by the examination of some specific branches of Russian legislation. UK: 1. It is striking that men figure so little explicitly in governmental discourses compared to their prominence in much of the critical, and not so critical, academic literature in the UK over the past ten years. 2. When men are addressed explicitly in government-produced material, this is far more likely to be in early-stage consultation documents or in enquiry reports than in hard recommendations, advanced consultative documents or (most of all) Acts of Parliament.
Poland: 1. The absence of any clearly defined themes dealing with men’s issues, matters connected exclusively with men or unequivocally referring to them is the most striking observation that ensues from the analysis of the three selected Polish journals. 2. Men play the main role primarily in events in the context of politics, economy and sport (these categories, however, as defined in the directives received, were not considered for the preparation of the report). 3. Both the quantitative and qualitative analyses show that the category of Violence prevails in the four major issues selected for the purposes of the report, which may encourage a negative interpretation of the image of men in Poland.
