Labour Market Gender Equality Index. An Analysis of Gender Ratios on the Austrian Labour Market

Gender equality on the labour market depends on a large number of factors. The Labour Market Gender Equality Index bundles 30 indicators in the fields of labour, income, education and family in order to describe the equality situation of women and men on the labour market. According to this index, women in 2013 achieved only 70 percent of the ratings of men. Women did significantly worse in the fields of family and income. The data show greater equality on the labour market in Vienna than in the other Austrian Länder and below-average ratings for Vorarlberg.
