MARTINEZ-TOLA, Elena; DE LA CAL-BARREDO, Ma. Luz-Barredo e ALVAREZ-GONZALEZ, Irantzu. Crisis and austerity: threat for women´s employment in the European regions. Convergencia [online]. 2018, vol.25, n.77, pp.29-53. ISSN 2448-5799. https://doi.org/10.29101/crcs.v25i77.4534.
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.
