Unemployment gender inequality: evidence from the 27 European Union countries

Abstract: Gender inequality is persistent in the labor market despite equality between genders being one of the fundamental principles of the EU law. This is a reason why we have decided to analyze gender inequality in unemployment rates of the 27 European Union countries. Unemployment gender inequality differs across EU countries. There are countries where gender gap is persistent, but there are also countries where gender gap changed during the observed period of 2005Q1-2017Q2. Moreover, in some countries gender inequ… Show more
