La temporalidad, el factor crucial que ha reducido la brecha de género en el mercado laboral

Spain’s 2021 labor reform has achieved significant progress in enhancing the stability and labor market participation of women, reducing temporary employment and promoting indefinite contracts. This structural change has enabled women to overcome historical barriers of precariousness, consolidating a positive trend that is further reinforced by the entry of younger generations into the labor market and the strengthening of wage conditions through sectoral collective bargaining agreements. However, critical challenges persist, indicating that full equality has not yet been achieved. Despite the narrowing of the unemployment gap, women continue to face pronounced occupational segregation and a high concentration in part-time contracts, which limits their professional advancement and access to positions of responsibility. Discrimination remains entrenched in the sexual division of labor, where care responsibilities fall disproportionately on women, affecting their mobility and promotion opportunities. This analysis is relevant to open data because it demonstrates how transparency in gender-disaggregated labor data is essential for assessing the real impact of public policies. While national aggregates show progress, disaggregated data reveal hidden structural inequalities, such as labor market part-time work. This underscores the importance of having granular and accessible public datasets that enable researchers and policymakers to identify specific disparities and design more precise and effective interventions to achieve genuine labor equality.
