Large difference in employment rates between men and women!

If you compare the employment rates in EU regions, you will notice that the female employment rates still lag behind the male rates in most of the regions.

The EU has set a policy target in this area of halving the gender employment gap from 11.7% in 2019 to 5.8% by 2030.

The green regions shown here are those that have already attained the target.

    This is the difference, not the employment rate. So maybe they’re more equally unemployed. Maybe men have a higher unemployment rate generally there, bringing them down to meet the women’s rate.
