Die Anziehungskräfte zwischen Mann und Frau bestimmen weite Teile des Lebens – und das Leben selbst. Die Werbung in Deutschland setzt intensiv auf diese Attraktion, vor allem zwischen ‚typischen‘ Männern und Frauen. Die große Bandbreite, die das Leben jenseits der starren Genderrollen bereithält, zeigen gleich vier aktuelle TV Spots, u.a. von Vodafone und Allianz.
Many studies claim to describe the business benefits of D&I. Critics, however, often challenge the research methodology or other aspects. The updated 3rd edition of the unique International Business Case Report (IBCR 3.1) contains 1-page summaries of 203 studies which were all checked for significance, robustness, validity, reliability and, if applicable, for statistical bias.
They could not know about the symbolic power of their idea, when the Belgian Post announced early November 2015 the release of new stamp called “Tolerance” in 2016.

Während anfänglich noch der Glaube an traditionelle Familienstrukturen vorherrschte und zu fehlgeleiteten Herdprämien führte, öffnete sich die Politik langsam (und zaghaft) den neu entstandenen Realitäten.

B. es gäbe zu wenig Entwicklung, die Quote sei das letzte Mittel und sie würde das gewünschte Ergebnis herbeiführen. Obwohl diese und andere Argumente fachlich entkräftet […]
A current survey of almost 1,500 men, conducted by the JUMP, found low engagement levels in gender diversity and even resistance from one third of respondents. The finding becomes more alarming when factoring in that the survey audience consisted of a more-than-averagely interested group of men and those completing the questionnaire were at least inclined […]
Low numbers of antisemitic incidents are not good news when the majority of Jews describe antisemitism as an ongoing and even increasing issue.
