Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea, EspañaAbstract: The objective of the study is to explore the relation between unemployment rates for men and women and the variation in public employment at regional level. To this end, a number of indicators are presented for the descriptive analysis of unemployment at regional level in the EU-15 and results are mapped. The main conclusion is that the marked sectoral segregation of employment by sex and the role of employment in the public sector for women should be taken into account when designing employment policies. On the contrary, employment growth in certain sectors and cuts in public spending in others introduce a bias that can boost male employment while delaying the recovery of feminine employment. Key words: crisis, sectoral segregation by sex, European regions. Resumen: El objetivo del trabajo es explorar la relación entre las tasas de paro de mujeres y de hombres, y la variación en el empleo público a escala regional. Para ello se plantean diversos indicadores orientados al análisis descriptivo del desempleo a nivel regional en el ámbito de la UE-15 y se hace una mapificación de los resultados. La principal conclusión es que la importante segregación sectorial del empleo por sexo y el papel que desempeña el empleo en el sector público en el trabajo femenino deben ser tomados en cuenta a la hora de diseñar las políticas laborales. De lo contrario, el fomento del empleo en ciertos sectores y/o los recortes de gasto público en otros incorporan un sesgo que puede estar impulsando el empleo masculino y retrasando la recuperación del femenino. Palabras clave: crisis, desempleo femenino, segregación sectorial por sexo, regiones europeas.
