Who cares about men in care?
Join us for an engaging webinar on 15 November at 10.00 CET, organized by Nordregio, where we will explore the persistent gender imbalance in nursing and examine what steps can be taken to address it.
Currently, less than 15% of nursing graduates are men—a statistic shaped by societal perceptions and gender stereotypes. Despite efforts to promote equality, men face significant challenges when entering and advancing nursing careers. To change this, a cultural shift is needed at all levels of education, alongside more robust diversity plans in workplaces.
This webinar draws on insights from the “Share the Care: Strategies to Increase Diversity in Nursing Education” report, funded by NIKK, and marks the launch of a new report examining gender dynamics in nursing across Finland, Norway, and Iceland. The project’s findings offer a comparative Nordic perspective on gender representation in nursing, recruitment strategies, and provide key recommendations for the future.
