Possible Causes of Gender Employment Gap in European Countries
Original language description
Increasing female labour market participation and the equal economic independence of women and men is one of the priorities of the Strategic Engagement for Gender Equality. In 2017 the Gender employment rate of women aged from 20 to 64 (66.5 %) was 11.5 percentage points (pp) lower than that of men aged from 20 to 64 (78.0 %). The largest gender employment gap between men and women was observed in Malta (24.1 pp), Italy (19.8 pp) and Greece (19.7 pp). The aim of the paper is to identify the possible causes of gender employment gap in European Countries. The author chose for the 28 countries´ comparison several indicators. Indicators were consulted with employees of several companies in various sectors and were inspired by similar studies in different industries. After choosing the indicators, the multiple linear regression was performed. This method is a very effective method for analyzing relationships between a set of independent variables and one dependent variable. The findings of this research show that the feedback from the supervisor has a big influence on gender employment gap. Based on standardized coefficients, it can be argued that all other independent variables have approximately the same effect on the dependent variable.
