WHY DECENT WORK FOR WOMEN AND GIRLS
According to the International Labour Organization, "the percentage of working women in wage and salaried
employment is increasing. However, this increase in labour force participation has
not resulted in a substantial narrowing of gender gaps
in the world of work. women are still
less likely than men to hold regular wage and salaried
positions. Women also continue to be over-represented
in occupations with low pay, and low productivity
with little protection. The progress to date is not
sufficient to ensure decent and productive work for
all as long as women continue to face unequal access
to employment, unequal pay, and limited access to
social protection and positions of leadership."
