In France, the proportion of employees who belong to a trade union varies greatly depending on whether the employee works in the public or private sector, but also according to gender. Thus, in 2019, 20.6 percent of men in the public sector were union members, four points higher than women in the same sector. While union membership was much lower in the private sector, the gender gap was also smaller.
In France, the rate of unionization, at its peak in 1949, has been gradually declining.
