Abstract

The chapter analyses comparatively the results of a Policy-Delphi study on gender roles, family and fertility, as well as ageing conducted in 15 European countries and the results of the Population Policy Acceptance Study (PPAS) examining preferences and attitudes of European citizens on the same topics. The comparative analysis focuses on female employment; the sources utilised are the national Delphi reports and some synthesis reports drafted within the DIALOG project. The analysis underlines interesting insights showing both convergence and differences among citizens and opinion leaders. In fact, while in some cases policy actions proposed by the Delphy pannelists are in line with citizens' values and preferences, in others their policy priorities indicated a certain distance with the lifestyles preferred by the population.
