Project idea
This project hopes to make a modest contribution to alleviating one of the most pressing challenges in Europe - relevant skills for women employability. Today knowledge-based economies require people with higher skills. Problem solving, teamwork, creativity, organization, communication, leadership and digital competences are some of the core importance soft skills for current European labour markets.
Today women represent more than 50% of the European population. Unfortunately, they have been traditionally more affected by unemployment than men and underrepresented in the labour market. According to the Eurostat data, at the beginning of 2018, the EU unemployment rate was 8,6% (around 18 mln. people) and half of them have been unemployed for more than one year. The share of women among those EU citizens without job, however, is above half. In Lithuania, the total unemployment rate is 7 % of which 5.4% are women. Greece jobless rate among women was 24.4% , in Slovenia - 6.3% in 2018.
