An estimated 68 percent of women between the ages of 15 and 60 were employed; on average, women earned only 74 percent of what men earn for the same work. Women were more likely than men to hold temporary positions and also are disproportionately represented among those unemployed for extended periods of time. In 2000 the U.N.

New information shows that Estonian victims include both ethnic Estonians and those that are Russian-speaking natives from the country’s northeast.
