I perioden med økonomisk opsving i slutningen af 1980'erne faldt ar­bejdsløsheden blandt både mænd og kvinder i alle EU­landene, bortset fra Danmark, hvor den steg for beg­ge køn, og Grækenland, hvor ar­bejdsløsheden blandt kvinder steg (figur 52).
In the period of economic recovery in the late­1980s, the rate of unem­ployment of both men and women fell in every Member State, except Denmark, where it rose for both, and Greece, where the rate for women increased (Graph 52).
