Abstract

The aim of the paper is to present a comparative analysis of gender inequalities in the labor market in the EU member states, namely the employment rate of women and men in the labor market, the time allocated to unpaid domestic work and the wage differences, as well as the directions/perspectives pursued by these states to improve these gaps. In this sense, we use a methodology of both descriptive and empirical type, by referring to bibliographic resources from the specialized literature, as well as statistical data provided by the relevant institutions (Eurostat, European Institute for Gender Equality, World Economic Forum).
