The purpose of the thesis is to analyse the state and accessibility of the labour market for women. In the first chapter, I described the advancement of women on the labour market throughout history. I the next chapter, I explained the Slovenian labour market and its entry barriers. The research part, where I compared Slovenia, Germany and Italy, is prepared on the ground of accessible statistical data. The thesis discusses women on the labour market in Slovenia. In today’s time and after the consequences of the economic crisis, women are still facing great challenges by entering the labour market, since usually they are the ones, who have to reconcile work and family life. In reconciling the professional and family life, we are still facing different treatment of the employer and employment discrimination despite the completed education. In the thesis, I found that in Slovenia, there is a lower number of women in leading or leadership positions in the Parliament and on the municipal level. Statistical data also shows that women are disadvantaged compared to men in terms of employment and entering the labour market. Slovenia is not the only county, where women are facing a challenged entry into the labour market. The results show that Germany and Italy are also facing troubles and challenges. It is evident that since the economic crisis in 2008, the status of women on the labour market is slowly improving, but it is still not the best. Based on statistical data, we can perceive a positive impact of the measures of the State and employers on the entry of women into the labour market.
