Abstract

The amount of women usually resident in a specified geographic area (municipality) calculated per 100 residents.

Distribution by gender is generally linked not only to the population’s reproductive ability, but also to its structure by age and to the characteristics of the labour market. In the Alps, population distribution by gender does not differ significantly from national averages and is fairly balanced: in the Italian Alps, women account for 51.1% of the total population (51.6% on the whole national territory), in the Slovenian Alps they account for 50.4% (in comparison with a national average of 50.5%). In Liechtenstein women amount to 50.5% of the population, while in France the Alpine values are quite similar to the national average, with 50.9% of women on the total population in the Alpine territory and 51.6% at national level. The same applies to the Swiss and German Alps, where Alpine figures in line with national averages can be observed.
More details can be gained through the analysis of the municipal situation, which shows a homogeneous higher concentration of women in municipalities in the Eastern Alps, whereas the situation in the Western part is absolutely heterogeneous.
