Abstract
The purpose of the study is to provide the assessment of employment structural changes impact on the situation of women on the labour market. The research period covers the years 2008–2015. The structure changes observed in the European Union countries confi rm the convergence of employment sector structure towards highly developed economies. In the years 2008–2015 the largest number of jobs were opened in all European Union countries in the service sector.As a result of the conducted analysis it can be concluded that structural changes in employment, on the one hand, do not reduce the disproportions in female and male employment in the most feminine and masculine sections but, on the other, create opportunities for an extended employment of women in service sections requiring high qualifi cations.
