Abstract: This paper presents a short version of some chapters and articles published by the author related with Female Employment and Quality of Life in several OECD countries of Europe and America for the period 1990-2010 as well as an update for the period 2010-2018. We focus on the positive impact that Industry usually has on the development of Services and the real Wage. Those impacts are very important in order to increase total employment and female employment. Regarding quality of life, some factors that have an important impact for women are those related with the quality of working conditions (opportunities for employment, real wage, conciliation of family and work, and other ones) as well as opportunities for social participation (in news, political tasks, instutions and other ones). Many of these factors are also important for quality of life of men. We cite the results of several econometric models in order to explain the main differences of employment rates and real income per capita among the countries of the study.
