We are excited to announce that we have launched our interactive map representing the labour market attachment of vulnerable groups[1] across European countries.
Building on existing EU and international statistical databases, the interactive map depicts the different labour market attachment realities between the mainstream and different groups in vulnerable situations, providing a picture of trends and allowing comparison between European countries.
The map includes a broad set of indicators grouped into three key categories: gender, migration and disability. These indicators allow users to explore the labour market reality of groups that are difficult to identify in already available data sets.
Regarding gender, the map visualizes the gender pay gap, the female share of managerial positions, overqualification of women, the prevalence of sexual harassment at work, and more. Migration-related indicators cover, among others, unemployment by citizenship status, and a variety of immigration attitudes. Indicators related to disability status zoom in on unemployment, the gap in monthly earnings and reporting financial difficulties. Many indicators on disability and migration are broken down by gender to allow for an intersectional analysis.
With the PATHS2INCLUDE interactive map, we aim to provide policymakers, academics, and advocates a valuable tool to support data-driven decisions that promote equality and social inclusion.
The interactive map is the result of collaborative efforts by all consortium members, coordinated by the University of Girona.
The map is now available on our website.
[1] PATHS2INCLUDE views vulnerability as contextual and dynamic rather than fixed to specific social groups, emphasizing that vulnerability arises from social positions and life transitions rather than inherent traits. It focuses on “persons in vulnerable situations” to highlight how exposure to risks, such as discrimination, varies across societal and national contexts, including labour markets.
