The latest official study of the battle of the sexes also revealed many of the old stereotypes are d1 still at play in 21stcentury Ireland. More than one million men are working compared with 886,500 women - a fifth of whom are in secretarial or admin jobs compared with just 5.5% of men.
The Central Statistics Office said women are consistently earning less then their male colleagues.
In 2007, a woman's wage was, on average, about two-thirds of a man's and after taking into account the longer hours put in by men, the hourly rate for women's wages is about 87% of men's.
Craft jobs showed the least gender balance with men filling 96% of roles in the sector.
The CSO's life and death statistics also gave some startling figures including: IN 2006 women were on average living until 81.5, almost five years longer than men MEN are more likely to die younger with 15 to 24-year-olds at particularly high risk from suicide and car accidents, and FOUR times as many men die by suicide.

The lack of women in high-profile and frontline decision-making roles was also highlighted.
Only 22 seats in the Dail are filled by women. Women make up a just a third of the posts on state boards, 17% of council seats and 12% of positions on regional authorities.
In population terms Ireland was in a unique position in Europe in 2008 as the only country perfectly gender-balanced, with one women for every man. The report warned the overall figures masked differences in age groups with more boys being born than girls and women living longer - in the 65 and over age group, there were 80 men for 100 women.
