Resumo

The purpose of this chapter is to analyse the structure of opinions and attitudes of elites towards gender inequality within several groups of countries, taking into account their macro-structural conditions as well as individual satisfaction with the job performed by the members of the studied elites. Countries are clustered in two ways. The first uses the author's earlier analysis and is multi-dimensional. The second uses Huntington's clusterings based on different civilisations. The most important predictors of perceptions and attitudes towards gender inequality are gender and the national characteristics of the respondents' countries. In general, women, postmaterialist orientated respondents, members of elites of the more postmaterialist orientated societies and those with a higher level of democracy, a longer continuous period of democracy and a high level of economic development are more sensitive to the situation of women and more often observe their discrimination.
