State’s largest employer says difference is due to more men in roles with higher pay such as medical and dental jobs
The proportion of female doctors and dentists has grown strongly from 38 per cent in 2002 to 51 per cent last year, the report said.
The HSE is the largest employer in the State, with 155,227 employees, equivalent to 137,220 whole-time equivalent staff. However, this includes voluntary hospitals and agencies funded by the HSE so the report is based on the earnings of almost 60,000 direct employees. Its workforce is predominantly female, at 78 per cent – this figure ranges from 51 per cent among doctors and dentists to more than 90 per cent for nurses and midwives.
