Enlarge the chart In 2025, the gap between men’s and women’s employment rates was 19.1 percentage points in Italy, 18.7 in Romania, 17.4 in Greece and 12.4 in Malta. It was 9.6 points in the European Union and 3.9 in Sweden. This chart compares six selected entries using the primary source’s decimal values; it does not show every country. [1]
The indicator covers people aged 20–64. For each sex, the rate divides employed people by the population in the same age group; the gap subtracts women’s rate from men’s rate. These are percentage points, not a pay difference or a ratio of the numbers of working men and women. The figure alone does not explain the causes. [2]
The data refer to 2025; the dataset was updated on 6 November 2026. Datobello’s gaiaz selected a comparison that also includes 2010 on 8 November; this adaptation shows only 2025. Graphic dated 9 November: no time comparison and no claim of progress. Adaptation and translations by Positive Times; Eurostat is not responsible for them. [1][3]
