"It should be noted that almost six out of ten unemployed are women, even though they are less than half of the people in employment," ELA stresses. "This is another example of the precariousness they suffer, with a unemployment rate of 10.8%, four points above the European Union". LAB says that "the precarious situation in the unit of life forces women to double work: maintaining the primary responsibility for home care, working in the labor market where precariousness and precariousness prevail". The union provides two facts: 25.7% of women are engaged in part-time work and 64.7% of permanent discontinued contracts in December are women.

Regarding the hiring data, 75.2% of the contracts signed in 2023 were temporary in Hego Euskal Herria, according to ELA data. "The situation of unemployed people is very worrying," he said. "More than half of the unemployed (51.4%) have not received unemployment benefit or benefit in November 2023. Furthermore, the coverage of the unemployed is insufficient: only 28.1% have received the contributory benefit and 20.5% have received the subsidy or the active income of insertion, 480 euros. The rest have not received benefits or unemployment benefits".

Unemployment is no longer an indicator.

"The crises that have been shackling in recent years are generating structural problems, both in the socioeconomic situation and in the labor world, which are overloading the working class," says LAB. "In this regard, we need to explore new sources that reflect the trend of unemployment, employment and the labour market, and the reality of the working class. In this sense, we began to analyze the Precariousness Index, according to which one in two workers aged between 25 and 64 lives in a precarious situation to guarantee a dignified life without sufficient income".
