Challenges of aging and gender gap
The aging of the workforce is a structural challenge, with the group aged 45 to 54 becoming the most numerous since 2020. In Freight Transport, 62.5% of workers are over 45 years old. However, there is dynamism in younger segments, especially in Warehousing, where employment among those under 25 grew by 76.8%, and in Postal and Courier Activities, which saw an increase of 125.5%.
The gender gap is another challenge, with only 23.5% female presence in the logistics sector, far below the national average of 46.4%. In Freight Transport, female participation is merely 12.3%, while in Warehousing it reaches 35.5% and in Postal and Courier Activities, it stands at 29.7%.
The logistics sector in Aragón and Spain faces significant challenges, but also presents growth opportunities and dynamism in certain segments. Addressing generational renewal and reducing the gender gap will be key to its future development.
