The most important results:

In the projekts we have the same gender spezific segregation than in the normal labour market; in the leading positions of the projects we find much more men, the sectors of occupation are typically for men and women

women in the projects have more problematic situations than men; women over 46 are underrepresented in the projects, in generelly the female participants are younger than men
