Dear Pat Many thanks. Yes, we provide quite a lot of data on gender inequalities and social policies that level out or enlarge gender inequalities. On the main page, you can find data visualisations for social policies such as family benefits, maternity benefits, gender differences in education, and you can find more data on gender inequalities in a downloadable format under the download tag. Hope this helps Best wishes Erdem *--* *Erdem Yörük* *Associate Professor, Department of Sociology, Koç University* *Associate Member, Department of Social Policy and Intervention, University of Oxford* *PI, Emerging Welfare ERC Project https://emw.ku.edu.tr <https://emw.ku.edu.tr/>* On Tue, Mar 31, 2020 at 2:56 PM Pat.O'Connor <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Erdem, > Tks for email.Does it focus on gender inequalities? > Best > Pat > > > > Professor Pat O’Connor > > Professor Emeritus Sociology and Social Policy, UL > > Visiting Professor Geary Institute UCD, Ireland > > Tel: 353-61-202329; 353-(0) 862338407 > > Email: [log in to unmask] > <https://webmail.ul.ie/owa/redir.aspx?C=0LSfJ1dXnSXTLlcbRL7z2mSDjkwrtBD1n_2iR-Iu1wt4ZIskbBzVCA..&URL=mailto%3aPat.oconnor%40ul.ie>; > Web page: Researchgate Pat O’Connor; Twitter:ProfPatO'Connor > > *Recent Publications * > > *1) * O’Connor, P.
