Evolution of Women in the Spanish Labor Market of the Tourism Industry.

Tourism has become one of the most important industries nowadays, which has a great impact on the economy and job creation. Women are a key factor for this sector, since there is a greater number of them with higher education and, at the level of occupation, more than half of the staff is female.
