“…For example, women's incomes across Europe are still below those of men, and policies for supporting unpaid care work have been developed modestly compared with labour-market activation policies. The resistance to the gender-mainstreaming process at different levels often is related to opposition from individuals and institutions to changes in gender norms and roles that are defined by specific cultural contexts, together with general relations between member countries and European institutions (Lombardo and Mergaert 2013;Bergqvist et al 2013;Verloo 2018).…”

However, to understand why so little progress has been made, it is interesting to examine how people experience change projects and to understand why people resist these interventions (Van den Brink, 2015;Bergqvist, Bjarnegård, & Zetterberg, 2013). As Connell (2005) puts it: '[our task] is to recognize the reasons for resistance to gender equality, to find answers to the arguments advanced by opponents, and to find better solutions to the underlying social concerns that find expression through resistance to gender equality ' (p. 1803).…”
