Abstract

The situation of women in the labour market in Spain has undergone a great evolution, and although there are some studies on the differences in professional careers depending on gender, fitness has been scarcely analysed. Our objective is to describe the situation of women in the labour market in this field and their conditions by understanding their perception about possible gender inequality. To this end, a descriptive quantitative methodology has been used, carrying out a cross-sectional study based on the application of a self[1]administered questionnaire of own elaboration. The 33 women from Huesca (Spain) who participated in the study represent a young and university-educated sector, but nevertheless, they seem to encounter greater difficulties to be hired, to get promoted, and to achieve work-life balance than men.

Keywords: Fitness, Woman, Working Conditions, Maternity, Gender Equality
