 With regard to the feminine employment in Greece , the European Union, using the report of European Committee about the equality between men and women in 2004, says that Greece with Italy and Spain is a negative example of countries for the feminine employment. This is a result which comes out of the rates of employment that are for the women under the 50%. It should be overwhelmed big effort in order to achieves the objective of Lisbon that is 60% up to 2010. Indeed, while in the five-year period 1999-2003 the employment was increased at 3,3 units and went to the 44%, it is still very low, as the mean in the European Union is 55,6%. There is one more problem,that the increase in the percentage of employment does not keep pace with improvement of equality between the sexes. For example to be improved the problem of unemployment or the difference in the wage.
