Gender equality has been one of the goals of the European Union since 1957. Article 157 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union authorizes the European Parliament and the Council to adopt all those measures that guarantee the application of the principle of equality opportunities and equal treatment for men and women in employment and occupation matters. The main goal of this article was to determine whether the use of European Funds by Eurozone countries has made it possible to reduce labor differences in gender matters. To this end, the efficiency levels of the Funds are analyzed in two different periods, 2007 to 2013 and 2014 to 2020. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), a methodology frequently used by researchers in efficiency analyses, was applied. Among the main conclusions obtained are that the efficiency levels from the period 2014 to 2020 have been higher than that obtained in the previous period, but there are significant and persistent differences over time in the levels of gender efficiency between the different countries of the Eurozone.

欧洲基金作为减少劳动性别差异的工具的地域效率分析

自1957年以来，两性平等一直是欧洲联盟的目标之一。《欧洲联盟运作条约》第157条授权欧洲议会和理事会采取一切措施，确保实施平等机会和平等原则。在就业和职业问题上男女平等待遇。本文的主要目的是确定欧元区国家使用欧洲基金是否有可能减少性别问题上的劳动差异。为此，在2007年至2013年和2014年至2020年这两个不同时期对基金的效率水平进行了分析。采用了数据包络分析（DEA），这是研究人员经常在效率分析中使用的一种方法。
