Abstract
The analysis of poverty from a gender perspective in Spain is necessary. Therefore, one of the fundamental objectives is to identify, study and analyze gender factors, which are linked to the gender economic gap in Spain. This research analyses women's access to the world of work and what is the gender gap in both, the access to the world of work and women’s participation on it. The methodology used in this research had quantitative nature since the analysis have been implemented by making use of the data of the Active Population Survey (EPA in Spanish) of the National Statistics Institute (NSI) in a span of time which comprises the years from 2012 to 2021. The main results of the research show how the gender gap is much more acute in periods in which there is an economic crisis. It also shows the difficulty that women have to fully consolidate their professional careers in Spain. This process is narrowly linked to the feminization of poverty in Spain.
