About this data

Six labour-market measures from the federal equality atlas, each for women, men and the total in every federal state: the registered unemployment rate, the long-term unemployed as a share of all unemployed people, people living mainly from their own employment, the employment rate of mothers and fathers with a child under three, the unadjusted gender pay gap and the difference in usual weekly working hours between fathers and mothers. Two measures follow where those gaps end up after working life: the gender pension gap in own old-age income, and the share of women and men aged 65 and over living alone. Bremen does not publish every cell; those gaps are kept as missing data.
