Description
In Spain the female unemployment rate is 26.57% (in 2014). The highest percentage of long-term unemployed women can be found in the age range between 35 and 49: 50.45%. The percentage of registered work contracts for female employees aged between 30 and 44 is the lowest among the employed population. The objective of the project is the promotion of equality between women and men in working life by fostering female entrepreneurship and self-employment. The achievement of the project will be to get an employment rate of 25%. This challenge will be addressed through the development of three projects, which include an innovative program of socio-labour insertion of unemployed people through teamwork, cooperation and mutual assistance, using the methodology of coaching. The expected beneficiaries are unemployed women aged between 30 and 45 years old who want to improve their unemployment situation through the development of entrepreneurial projects or who want to strengthen a business activity of new or recent origin.
