There is an employment gender gap among the countries of the European Union. Men are employed full-time to a higher degree than women, regardless of education level. In fact, 74 percent of males with a high education level were employed compared to 66 percent of females with the same educational achievements. The gender gap, however, was even higher for EU citizens with a low education level. A significant gender gap in employment is also found when checking for age.
