Abstract:
The present study describes the labour situation of foreign women residing in Catalonia between 2012 and 2021. From this group doubly discriminated due to their sex and origin, the data on labour indicators are compared with the data from two other discriminated groups: national women, due to their sex, and foreign men, due to their origin. Furthermore, with the data from the indicators, it investigates whether the reality of foreign women is different between those who live in Barcelona and those who live in Girona, Lleida, and Tarragona. To determine these differences, it uses a quantitative methodology, which allows analysing data obtained from Spain’s National Statistics Office, the Social Security and the Observatori del Treball i Model Productiu. In addition, it takes into account the national data on the indicators in previous years to determine if the data between 2012 and 2021 follows a trend.
