Evaluating Firms' Gender Equity by Fuzzy Logic

This paper uses a Fuzzy Expert System (FES) in order to evaluate firms in terms of Gender Equity (GE). The scope for using FES is connected not only to the multidimensional nature of GE and to the need of providing a synthetic indicator of firm’s GE without losing the its complexity, but even with the composite group of experts involved. The presence of sociologists, economists trade unions members, not used to a mathematics language, carried us to propose an instrument more user friendly like a FES. Keywords— Fuzzy logic, Fuzzy expert system, gender equity, equal opportunity, discrimination.
