Overview

• The report, led by Clément Beaune and coordinated by the Haut-Commissariat au Plan, highlights a rise in gender stereotypes among French adolescents.
• Key findings show that 54% of surveyed youth believe mothers are better suited to meet children’s needs, while 44% think women make better nurses than men.
• This marks the first in-depth study specifically examining gender biases in the 11–17 age group in France.
• Despite growing up in the era of #MeToo, many adolescents continue to hold traditional views about gender roles and abilities.
• The report proposes targeted interventions, including educational reforms and public campaigns, to dismantle these stereotypes from an early age.
