Perhaps you would work out how many times you could travel to the nearest ski resort with your friends, how many bars of chocolate this money would buy to see you through the coming learning periods or how often you could have a cup of coffee in the ad[hoc] with your friends.

The survey is part of the “Leaders for Equality” project of the Research Institute for Organizational Psychology of the University of St.Gallen (OPSY-HSG).

Their commitment thus represents an enormous potential for the attainment of equality of opportunity for men and women.
