Main findings
x
In 2005, there were 6.6 million employed persons (or 3.4% of total
employment) working in EU-25 in high-tech knowledge-intensive services
(KIS), which include post and telecommunications, computer and related
activities, and research and development.
x
High-tech manufacturing, which includes manufacture of computers,
communications equipment and medical equipment, accounted for 1.1%
of EU-25’s total employment in 2005 (2.2 million persons employed).
x
Women were, in general, under-represented in high-tech manufacturing
and in high-tech KIS sectors in 2005. However, the proportion of women
employed in these sectors was higher in the new Member States.
x
Employment in EU-25’s high-tech KIS sector grew at an annual rate of
2.7% between 2000 and 2005. The highest individual rates of growth
were in Portugal (9.9%), Cyprus (8.8%), Spain (8.1%) and Luxembourg
(6.0%).
x
Irrespective of sector and country, women were less well paid than men.
In general, the difference between women’s and men’s earnings was
greatest in the high-tech manufacturing sector.
