Spanish term or phrase: empleo femenino no visibilizado
I'm translating my nth article on the gender gap in depopulated rural areas and struggling to find a reasonable translation here but may just be very tired. The article talks about identifying four profiles for women in rural areas. The first three are "empleo femenino inestable", "empleo femenono en el sector público" and "empleo femenino el el sector servicios". Of the fourth it says:

Por último, en el cuarto factor, las cargas factoriales recaen en el no deseo de emigrar (-0,485), la variable referente a no haber trabajado nunca (0,59) y al montante de ingresos familiares medio-alto comprendido 35,001 y 40,000 euros. Se trata por tanto de un perfil caracterizado por no haber desarrollado actividad laboral fuera del entorno familiar, por lo que identificamos este cuarto factor como “Empleo femenino no visibilizado”.

I detest the word "visibilizar" and it feels even clunkier than usual here. The only thing that occurs to me at the moment is unseen ... but feel it's pretty lame.

The terms above sound more like what one would see in an economic text.

agree  philgoddard: Good idea - maybe below-the-radar female employment. You beat me to it, but I'm leaving my answer in case people prefer it :-)

  -> Yep, thanks;
neutral  Barbara Cochran, MFA: See my answer below. Too idiomatic, anyway, based on the register of the source text.

low-visibility female employment


Explanation:
I haven't included any references because this appears to be a coinage by the authors, so you can translate it however you like.

I did find hits for "visibilización" in this context, and the idea seems to be that they need to be included in employment statistics.

neutral  Barbara Cochran, MFA: Not "low-visibility"... The correct sociological term is "invisible"./It's the term used by the experts, sociologists, so it would be more correct than what you have offered. Anyway, in the asker's source text, the term is "NO visibilizado".
31 mins
  -> There is no "correct" term. As I said, it's been coined by the authors, which is why it gets no Google hits.

"invisible" female worker


Explanation:
I just wrote a paper, in Italian, about this very phenomenon. "Invisible" in that such women are relegated to work characterized by domesticity, and/or as part of a family business, as opposed to "visible women", who tend to be a lot more independent, and who are often involved in professional activities such as higher education or research, which can lend them a certain aura of fame.

neutral  Andrew Bramhall: Not really; they're working off the radar, below the parapet, etc;
1 hr
  -> Yes, really. I studied the phenomenon as I did the research for my paper, and have done additional research for the asker to confirm that my translation would be the most correct in this case.
neutral  Muriel Vasconcellos: I see a difference between 'invisible woman' and 'invisible female employment' in economic terms -- for which I could not find a single hit.

Thanks, Muriel.
Notes to answerer
Asker: This is an interesting option, Muriel, thank you. It also fits nicely with the wording in Spanish - recorded/reported for "visibilizado".
