The INE is responsible for the statistical operation "Indicators of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development", which was included in the National Statistical Plan in 2018, which is prepared in collaboration with the statistical services of the ministries. Its results can be viewed at: https://www.ine.es/dyngs/ODS/en/index.htm.
By means of Goal 5, the countries undertake to achieve full gender equality and empower all women and girls. To this end, the global framework sets the following targets: 1) end all forms of discrimination against all women and girls; 2) eliminate all forms of violence against women and girls in the public and private spheres, including trafficking and sexual and other types of exploitation; 3) eliminate all harmful practices, such as child, early and forced marriage and female genital mutilation; 4) recognize and value unpaid care and domestic work through public services, infrastructure and social protection policies, and by the promotion of shared responsibility in the household and family; 5) ensure women's full and effective participation and equal opportunities for leadership at all levels of decision-making in political, economic and public life; 6) ensure universal access to sexual and reproductive health and reproductive rights as agreed in accordance with the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development, the Beijing Platform for Action and the outcome documents of their review conferences; 7) undertake reforms to give women equal rights to economic resources, as well as access to ownership and control over land and other assets, financial services, inheritance and natural resources; 8) enhance the use of enabling technology, in particular information and communication technology, to promote the empowerment of women; 9) Adopt and strengthen sound policies and enforceable legislation to promote gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls at all levels.
The global framework contains 14 indicators for the monitoring of goal 5. On the 2030 Agenda Indicators platform, 51 sub-indicators corresponding to 11 global indicators have been published. This represents a coverage rate of 79%.
The indicator Gender pay gap in unadjusted form measures the difference between the average wage per hour between men and women. This difference is expressed as a percentage of average pay per hour among men. All workers in companies with 10 or more employees are considered, without restrictions in terms of age or hours worked and, therefore, not adjusted to individual characteristics. It is a main indicator of the indicators table of the European Pillar of Social Rights.
In Spain the gender pay gap in unadjusted form has narrowed from 14.1% in 2015 to 8.9% in 2021, which means a decrease of 5.2 percentage points.
At the European level, there was a fall of 2.8 points in the same period: from 15.5% in 2015 to 12.7% in 2021.
The country of the EU-27 that recorded the lowest pay gap figure in 2021 was Luxembourg, with -0.2%. At the opposite extreme was Estonia, with 20.5%.
Did you know…?
In 2020, the percentage of female owners of agricultural holdings, with respect to the total of female workers in agriculture, was 55.7%.
The source of subindicator 5.2.2.2 Number of women and girls aged 16 years and older subjected to sexual violence by persons other than an intimate partner in the previous 12 months is the Security Statistics: Action taken by the Police, from the Ministry of the Interior, which publishes the list of criminal offences recorded by the State Security Forces.
In 2021, the number of police actions related to women and girls aged 16 and older subjected to sexual violence by persons other than an intimate partner (last 12 months) was 8,236, an increase of 94.5% since 2015.
By place of occurrence, in 2021 45.0% happened in homes, 20.9% in communication routes, 10.9% in facilities and the remaining 23% in other places.
Indicator 5.5.1 Proportion of seats held by women in national parliaments and local governments measures the percentage of seats held by women in the Houses of Parliament and local governments in comparison with the total seats. In Spain, this information is provided by the Women's Institute (Ministry of Equality) in accordance with the data provided by the Houses of Parliament and the General Directorate of Interior Policy (Ministry of the Interior).
The Governments of the Autonomous Communities are the most equal; 47.4% of Regional Ministers were women in 2022.
In the national parliaments, the percentage of seats held by women was 42.7% in the Congress of Deputies and 39.4% in the Senate.
At the local level, women hold 22.3% of mayoral positions, 40.9% of councillors were women in 2022, as compared with 19.1% and 35.6% in 2015, respectively.
In the period 2015-2022, women's participation increased at all levels of government except in the Senate, where it fell from 41.4% in 2015 to 39.4% in 2022.
Indicator 5.5.2 Proportion of women in managerial positions measures the proportion of women in key positions in companies, and it is essential to track full and effective equality between women and men. In Spain this indicator is disaggregated into 4 subindicators of the different levels of responsibility (proportion of women in: managerial positions, senior management and board members) and entrepreneurship (proportion of women entrepreneurs). The source of the statistics of the first two subindicators is the INE's Labour Force Survey (subindicators shown in the chart), while the first two subindicators are obtained from the statistics of Personal Income Taxpayers and the Statistics of Earnings from Economic Activities of the Ministry of Finance and Public Administration.
The proportion of women in senior management in 2021 stood at 34.1% and that of women in senior management at 33.3%.
The age distribution in 2021 shows a concentration among younger ages. For the 16-34 age bracket, the proportion of women in senior management and in managerial positions is close to the par value, with 48.7% and 43.6%, respectively.
Meanwhile the percentage of female directors in 2021 stood at 27.9% and that of female entrepreneurs was 37.7% in 2020..
Progress in Spain on the SDG 5 subindicators is presented, distinguishing between short-term progress (the previous year available compared with the previous year) and medium-term progress (since 2015, i.e. the baseline year). In both cases the compound annual growth rate has been used.
For indicators with positive normative direction (increases are desirable) we have: growth rates greater than or equal to 0.5% are considered progress (), rates in the range [0%, 0.5%) slight progress (), rates in the range [-0.5%, 0) slight decline () and for rates less than -0.5%, a decline (). For indicators that do not evolve, , is used.
For indicators with a negative normative direction, the categories are reversed.
Among the 51 sub-indicators shown in the table, in the medium term, 28 of them are progressing favourably, 2 show slight progress, 17 are regressing and 4 cannot be assessed due to insufficient data.
The subindicators of indicator 5.1.1 and of indicator 5.a.2 record the highest possible value, so they can be considered favourable.
