Up to 30% of women in the EU work in education, healthcare, and social work, which are traditionally lower-paid sectors. Men, on the other hand, tend to work more in technical and riskier professions, where wages are higher.
According to data from the European Parliament, up to 28% of women work part-time because they perform more hours of unpaid work (e.g., childcare or household chores). In contrast, only 8% of men work part-time.
Women are often underrepresented in managerial positions within companies. In 2021, they held an average of 34.7% of managerial positions in the EU. When looking at various managerial roles, women earn 23% less per hour than their male colleagues in the same position.
Women more often interrupt their careers for family reasons. Up to a third of women interrupt their careers for maternity duties, while only 1.3% of men do the same.
