For them labor market It continues to show “an alarming setback in the way to equality”: “The data analyzed and that we now expose us indicate that year after year, women remain majority in temporary hiring, part -time or surpluse children or family “.
They denounce that women continue to “steal” hours and “cornered by perpetuating traditional roles that make them sacrifice their professional career.” Specifically, the report includes data such as the difference between men and women with temporary contracts multiplied by 11 From pandemia. According to the latest Active Population Survey (EPA), if in the last quarter of 2019 there were 27,700 women more than men in temporary hiring, in the same 2024 period there were 342,900 more.

Greater gap in public administrations
The CSIF, on public administrations, warns that the figures of instability “are worse than in the private sector”, since the number of women with temporary contracts is twice as that of men (667,100 women compared to 347,700), while Women with part -time contracts are more than triple (181,100 women compared to 56,500 men).
