The gap between policy and implementation of policy on gender equality (Case study on women participation in public management)

Abstract

This paper purposes to analyse the gap between policy and implementation of policy on gender equality in public management. By overall literature survey, the paper points out that Vietnamese Government has made the great efforts to make policies and the circulars guiding implementation of policies; hence creating a relatively strong legal framework to ensure women participation in public management. However, in reality there is the gap yet between policy and implementation of policy on gender equality in this domain; this gap exists between policy and implementation of policy on training, improving, planning and appointing. If that, it is because in implementation, the policy is still influenced by many objective and subjective causes.
