The share of men across occupations of the education, health and welfare (EHW) sector enables monitoring of occupational segregation with a focus on the work fields that are marked by persistently high gender segregation.
To define occupations, the variable ‘Occupation (ISCO-08 COM)’ has been used (since 2011) in the EU-LFS dataset. As only a one-digit occupation classification has been used for Malta, it is not possible to include the data for Malta.
Due to data availability and reliability limits (i.e. small sample size) across Member States, data are presented as two-year averages.
