Abstract

Introduction: This study analyses the influence of employment on the social construction and fluctuations of the world of work, with a focus on Riojan society, especially in Logroño. It addresses the relevance of employment as a tool for analysing social reality. Methodology: The aim is to analyse the socio-labour and economic position of the female population in La Rioja, taking into account the health and energy crisis. Data on labour market insertion, employment, unemployment and inactivity of women are compared with those of the male population for the years 2021 and 2022. Results: Intersectional analysis reveals significant differences between the female and male population in terms of employment, unemployment rates and labour participation, especially after the health and energy crisis. Conclusions: The study highlights how the recent crises have unequally affected women in La Rioja, underlining the need for labour policies that address these inequalities.
