This paper analyses gender equality in Portuguese industrial relations, with particular focus on social concertation and collective agreements published in recent years. Our results show that gender mainstreaming comes basically from legal regulation and government policies. The content of collective agreements tends to be formally neutral. However, very few agreements contain positive measures for attacking professional discrimination and, even in these cases, they are formulated in a very generic way.

Keywords : gender mainstreaming; collective bargaining; industrial relations.
