It's odd that the article avoids presenting data that would directly show the extent of the problem.
It does show that older women are at higher risk of long-term unemployment, but only compared to other women. It never compares older women to similarly aged men. The best it does is quote people saying that older women have it harder, but never with actual numbers.
We are therefore unable to estimate how big the problem is. Are older women 1% more at risk than older men? 300%? No idea.
