  • The number of women in jobs traditionally held by men is increasing in the Spanish industrial sector.
  • Around 780,000 women work in the industrial sector, making it the second-largest employer of women after the service sector.
  • Women have climbed in most companies, and although women are still scarce at the highest levels, they hold 20% of executive positions in the industry.
  • In addition, women are on the rise in auxiliary areas such as sustainability.
  • A gender gap still exists, including wages, and changes in corporate cultures are needed to address it.

Conclusion: Despite the progress, there is still a lot to be done to achieve gender parity in the Spanish industrial sector, including reducing the wage gap and increasing the representation of women in leadership positions.
