abstract: 'The paper describes gender inequality in employment across 28 EU
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
countries. Gender inequality in employment persists despite European
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
commission is focused on decreasing it. Gender equality is guaranteed by
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the Charter of Fundamental Rights and supported by the Strategy for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
equality between women and men and also by the Europe 2020 Employment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Strategy. However, women are still in a worse position on the labour
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
market compared with men. Therefore, European Commission (EC) focused
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mostly on achieving lower disparities between genders by encouraging
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
women to participate on the labour market. EC guarantees the same
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
working rights for both genders with the aim of preventing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
discrimination. Gender inequality differs depending on the analysed
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sector. Therefore, the paper focuses on the analysis of the employment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
gender inequality across sectors since 2000 until 2017. Gender
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inequality indicator was calculated as a ratio between the lower and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
upper gender rates minus one to assess the severity of the inequality.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Further, we have compared gender inequality indicators in employment and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the labour force participation. Positive linear correlation was
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
determined too. Gender inequality indicator for employment was always
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
higher than gender inequality indicator of labour force participation,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and it was more susceptible to structural changes. Gender inequality in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment did not depend on time, but it has depended on country and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment sectors. The highest gender inequality value was reported in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
southern countries such as Malta, Italy and Greece, while the lowest one
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
was reported in northern countries, such as Sweden and Finland. When it
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
comes to sectors, men were employed more than women in agriculture and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
industry sector, while women were employed more than men in services
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sector. However, when gender inequality indicators across sectors were
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
compared, higher gender inequality was reported when women were worse
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
off on the labour market. The crisis in the year 2008 had substantial
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
impact on the employment gender inequality and it led to its decrease on
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
panel level. The consequences of this impact were permanent, and it set
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the new, lower equilibrium of the employment gender inequality.'
