Women in the EU are well educated and usually do better than men in terms of participation and academic qualifications. However, there is still a wide gap between their education level and the professional opportunities available to them: 31.9% of women work part-time in comparison to 8.4% for men and they continue to be underrepresented in certain sectors as well as in high management and decision-making posts. Also on average women continue to earn less than men.
