In this aspect, we emphasized women who had a unique and important role but whose contribution was often overlooked. Utilizing the analysis of the data (AJPES, ZPIZ, SURS, etc.) and telephone interviewing and interviewing via e-mail, we got an overview of the current situation of women's employment in the Lower Vipava Valley.

The percentage of women labor in the industrial sector increased, especially in socialism.
