Citizens’ Assembly meeting to discuss gender equality this weekend
It was told that more men work in trades, IT, computing and managerial roles while there are more women in primary teaching, nursing and retail work. The median earned income for men is higher across virtually all occupations.
Around 31 per cent of men and 18 per cent of women worked 40 to 44 hours. Last year, the employment rate for men was nearly 11 percentage points higher than the rate for women. Women are more likely than men to have a third level education, according to the CSO figures presented to the assembly. However, Ms O’Mahoney said there had been “very little change” in the latest general election with women filling 22.5 per cent of the Dáil’s 160 seats.
