Jobs and wages – Regional Index Women

The Women’s Regional Index for the theme Work and wages is based on the indicators of employment intensity among foreign-born persons aged 20-64, share (%), employed persons aged 20-64 working in occupations that are well in line with their education, share (%), long-term unemployment 25-64 years, share (%) of the population, Acquisition population aged 20-64, share (%), population 16-84 who are worried about losing their job, percentage (%). The KPIs are normalised so that all regions’ values are placed on a scale from 0 to 100 where 0 is the worst and 100 is best (for some indicators, inverted scale is used). In the next step, the normalised indicator values are weighed together into indices at aspect level (currently, the theme is based on indicators in four aspects). This is done with averages, all indicators weighed together with the same weight in each aspect. The values are also at this level in the range 0 to 100. Then the index at aspect level is weighed together to the thematic level according to the same principle and these values also fall between 0 and 100. The weighting is equal for all aspects of the theme.
