Carole Blond Hanten (LUX)

Carole Blond-Hanten is a researcher in the "Labor Market" department at LISER (Luxembourg Institute of Socio-Economic Research).

Her professional focus shifted towards gender equality when she became responsible for the Gender Equality Service in a municipality (City of Differdange, 2004-2007). During this period, she co-founded the National
Network of Municipal Gender Equality Officers and served on the Board of Directors of Cid Fraen an Gender Asbl, among many other active roles.

With a Master's degree in sociology from the University of Louvain-la-Neuve (Belgium), she worked for NGOs and local authorities before pursuing a scientific career at LISER. 

Her main research areas are gender and industrial relations. At LISER, she is part of the national correspondents' team for EUROFOUND and mainly participates in studies and research projects funded by public actors: she has produced reports on various topics such as wage transparency, female entrepreneurship, childcare services, among others. She has expertise in qualitative methodologies. 

In 2020, she received an Award for Outstanding Promotion of Science to the Public from the FNR for the project "The GG goes 'round! De GG geet ronderëm!" which aimed to raise awareness about gender stereotypes and
spark scientific curiosity among young audiences. Currently, she continues to pursue this path. In parallel, she is completing a doctoral thesis at the University of Louvain, supported by the FNR, on the role and place of social
partners in the implementation process of gender equality in Luxembourg. Additionally, since 2013, she has served as the president of the staff delegation at LISER.
