In fact, the occupancy rate of women has grown notably since 2002, and although it is still seven points lower than that of men, it is far from the gap that existed two decades ago between the two sexes (a difference of 27 points separated them), according to EITB Data, which In this new installment, he has analyzed what they study and where women are employed.

By age groups, the progress registered among women aged 45-64 stands out, since two decades ago they held a third of the jobs, compared to the current 48%.
