Typology calculated by means of a cluster analysis (Ward method) with subsequent discriminant analysis using data provided by EUROSTAT: Labour force participation rates of men in the age groups 15-24, 25-34 and 35-44; labour force participation rate of women in the age group 35-44 and the "gender gap" for the age groups 15-24 and 25-34. The gender gap is calculated as follows: (Female labour force participation rate / male labour force participation rate) / Female labour force participation rate
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| CLUSTER_1 | High labour force participation of both sexes and low gender gap in all age groups |
| CLUSTER_2 | Lowest gender gaps and high female labour force participation |
| CLUSTER_3 | Low gender gap in the younger age groups, but pronounced gander gap in the older age groups |
| CLUSTER_4 | Low gender gap and relatively high labour force participation in all age groups |
| CLUSTER_5 | High male and low female labour force participation in all age groups |
| CLUSTER_6 | Low labour force participation of both sexes and pronounced gender gap in all age groups |
| UNDEREMPLOYMENT | Regions with very low labour force participation of men between 25 and 54 |
| EXTREME_VALUES | Regions with extremely high gender gaps |
| NOT_ANALYSED | Regions omitted from the analysis |
