In 2024, employment inequalities linked to disability, gender and origin were recorded in the EU. The gender employment gap in the EU was 10.0 percentage points (pp), with an employment rate of 80.8% for men and 70.8% for women. The gap was 0.2 pp lower than in 2023 and 1.1 pp lower compared with 2014.

The gender employment gap was particularly pronounced in the foreign-born population, where the difference in employment rates reached 18.1 pp. Employment rate for foreign-born men was 83.1%, compared with 65.0% for women. Foreign-born women also experienced employment rates 15.7 pp lower than native-born women.

Especially striking was the employment gap between people with and without disabilities, amounting to 24.0 pp.
