Large difference in employment rates between men and women!

If you compare the employment rates in EU regions, you will notice that the female employment rates still lag behind the male rates in most of the regions.

The EU has set a policy target in this area of halving the gender employment gap from 11.7% in 2019 to 5.8% by 2030.

The green regions shown here are those that have already attained the target.

    Let’s assume equal rates of desire for taking time to be with family among men and women.

    Instead of assuming anything, let’s poll and gather some evidence. How many men/women are employed/unemployed against their choice? What makes them take that difficult decision? What sorts of policies could help more people achieve what they want, rather than somebody else’s preconceived idea of what they should be doing?
