how the gap between male and female employees has been reduced throughout the 
years. 
In terms of differences between genders, 1861 was the only year where women 
played a more important role than men counting 160.000 and 131.000 
people in 
employment respectively. The same year saw 
a
peak 
in
the number of factories 
reaching 727. 
From 1861 onwards, all figures declined. Therefore, in 1871 the number of men 
employed went down to roughly 80.000. Likewise, the amount of female workers 
decreased 
to
60.000. Furthermore, a cut in employees meant a lower number of 
factories (622).
