Abstract

The thematic section focuses on issues of gender equality from an interdisciplinary research perspective. Starting with the social importance of gender equality, the goal is to highlight this topic as a central theme of the public policies related to population phenomena, the position, and needs of the population. This idea is based on the interdisciplinarity of the knowledge about population, which also involves discussing the gender dimension as a significant socio-cultural determinant of social and population phenomena (Hobcraft 2007; Johanson- Hanks 2007). The aim was to gather papers that would provide scientific support for the view proposing that issues related to the social position of women and men, gender differences, and behavioural patterns are fundamentally important in the creation of public policies. The belief that social sciences can and should serve as a significant support in solving practical societal problems (Bašić 2022) further motivated the theme and focus of this thematic section. Authors of the articles in this thematic section, from their research perspectives, emphasize the important social issue in scientific discussions, focusing on potential directions for action.
