The unemployment rate for women in France was 7.2 percent in 2023, compared with 7.5 percent for men. Since 2015, both female and male unemployment rates have decreased year-on-year, from 9.9 percent for women and 10.8 percent for men. Moreover, the gap between female and male unemployment rates has reduced quite significantly since 1996. Indeed, for that year, 11.8 percent of the female active population was unemployed compared with only 9.3 percent of the male active population, when in 2023 both rates were around seven percent.
