In spite of these changes, the employment gender gap in Malta, with a marked difference of 33.1%, is still high and makes it difficult to reach target set by the Lisbon Agenda of a 60% of female participation rate in the labour market by 2010. 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z Conferences and other academic activities attended by staff /library/oar/handle/123456789/41736 2021-08-05T09:44:23Z 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z Title: Conferences and other academic activities attended by staff Abstract: A list of conferences and other activities organised by the Centre for Labour Studies during 2007 and 2008. 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z Research work and publications /library/oar/handle/123456789/41735 2021-08-05T09:44:30Z 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z Title: Research work and publications Abstract: A compiled list of research work and publications of the Centre for Labour Studies staff. 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z
