GEP Analysis: Assessing, understanding, and modelling the impact of gender equity policies (GEP) in the film industry

电影业在国际上表现出明显的性别不平等：女性（1）在劳动力中的代表性不足;（2）获得的工资和其他奖励较少;（3）与男性相比，创造、管理和财务机会较少;（4）受到性骚扰和欺凌。这种情况显然对个别妇女的就业和职业生涯造成了问题。但这也限制了电影的质量和性质，限制了观众的故事讲述和银幕体验，限制了银幕行业企业可以利用的机会和资源。因此，在电影行业实现性别平等对女性工作者、观众、企业和社会都很重要。当然，在过去的三十年里，有许多倡议试图改善国际电影业中的性别平等。但这些举措以及政府和行业利益相关者的监管干预带来的变化微乎其微。在某些司法管辖区，性别平等措施实际上已经恶化。因此，我们需要的是（1）我们对性别不平等原因的理解，以及（2）制定、设计、实施和评估旨在促进国际银幕行业性别平等的政策和计划。GEP分析将提供这种逐步变化。GEP分析在所使用的方法和概念上做出了重要的改变。以前，研究和实践主要侧重于赋予妇女个人权力。性别观点分析将侧重于行业规范、结构和做法：电影业的组织、制作的组织方式以及人们的日常行为中有哪些限制了性别平等？通过这一重要的视角转变，性别平等观点分析将-建立新的和更好的数据库，使我们能够以新的方式分析妇女参与电影业的情况;更全面地分析各国的政策干预和国民经济数据等。分析以前的政策干预措施是如何设计的，以及它们是如何成功的，在采访的基础上与行业利益相关者，统计分析，网络分析;-模型，在此新数据的基础上，不同的政策选择可能的性别平等结果。开展“有效办法”分析，并将这些结果与国际电影业利益攸关方结合起来，从而帮助电影业选择更有效的两性平等政策，改善两性平等，使妇女、创作成果、观众和企业受益。GEP分析还将实现一系列方法和概念创新，这将有助于学术界在未来提供更好的研究和政策建议。GEP分析将由加拿大，德国和英国的领先屏幕行业研究人员组成的团队进行。它将集中在这些国家的电影业和这些电影业的直接国际背景，最显着的是欧洲和加拿大的欧洲形象足迹。

The film industries internationally exhibit marked gender inequality: women (1) are under-represented in the workforce; (2)receive less pay and other rewards, (3) have fewer creative, managerial and financial opportunities than men; and (4) aresubjected to sexual harassment and bullying. This situation is obviously problematic for individual women's employmentand careers. But it also limits the quality and nature of the films that are made, the storytelling and screen experiencesavailable to audiences, and the opportunities and resources screen industry businesses can capitalise on. Improvinggender equity in the film industries is thus important for women workers, audiences, businesses and societies.There have, of course, over the last three decades been many initiatives that tried to improve gender equity in theinternational film industries. But these initiatives and regulatory interventions by governments and industry stakeholdershave produced minimal change. In some jurisdictions gender equity measures have in fact worsened.What is needed, therefore, is a significant step-change in (1) our understanding of the causes of gender inequality, and (2)the development, design, implementation and evaluation of policies and programs designed to promote gender equity inthe international screen industries. GEP Analysis will provide that step-change.GEP Analysis makes an important change in the methods and concept used. Previously, research and practice focusmainly on empowering individual women. GEP Analysis will instead focus on industry norms, structures and practices: whatis it in the organisation of the film industries, in the way production is organised and in people's everyday behaviour thatconstrains gender equity?With this important change of perspective, GEP Analysis will- Build new and better databases that allow us to analyse women's participation in the film industries in new ways; morecomprehensively, across countries, in relation to policy interventions and national economic data etc.- Analyse how previous policy interventions were designed and how successful they were, on the basis of interviews withindustry stakeholders, statistical analysis, network analysis;- Model, on the basis of this new data, the likely gender equity outcomes of different policy alternatives.- Undertake 'what works' analysis and embed these findings with the international community of film industry stakeholders.In doing so, GEP Analysis will help the film industries chose more effective gender equity policies and improve genderequity, to the benefit of women, the creative output, audiences and businesses. GEP Analysis will also achieve a number ofmethodological and conceptual innovations that will help academics deliver better research and policy recommendations inthe future.GEP Analysis will be undertaken by a team of leading screen industry researchers in Canada, Germany and the UK. It willfocus on the film industries in these countries and on these film industries' immediate international context, most notablythe Eurimage footprint of Europe and Canada.
