Brussels – Teachers, secretaries, nurses: women in the world of work are mostly that. There are professional figures that more than others involve women, and Eurostat proceeds with the classification of occupations. Working people are mostly men, according to the data. At the end of the third quarter of 2023, the majority of employed people aged 15-64 in the EU were male (53.5 percent compared to 46.5 percent women). Nevertheless, in some occupation groups women lead the way, especially helpers. According to data from the European Statistical Institute, women accounted for the largest share in what concerns support employees (65.8 percent), service and sales workers (63.5 percent), professionals such as scientists (54.3 percent), and elementary occupations (53 percent).

More specifically, at the EU level, women make up the vast majority of people employed in specific occupations, including childcare workers and teacher’s assistants (92.6 percent of total employed), secretaries (89.3 percent), elementary school and early childhood teachers (88.2 percent), nursing and midwifery professionals (87.5 percent), and domestic, hotel and office helpers (86.5 percent).

There is no data at the individual Member State level, but one fact emerges: at the end of the third quarter of 2023, only 34.7 percent of managers were women: an old problem with a solution that still seems far off because as the figure is the same as in 2017.
