How Long Is The Snow Good In Aspen

Global trends in female employment

are one billion two hundred million women who work in the world. A number only in the last decade has seen an increase of 20%. Unfortunately, the workers are mostly confined to less productive sectors, to bear the major economic risks and are often deprived of access to social protection and fundamental rights. Not to mention the wage gap has been made in the world. There also remains unchanged, the proportion of employed women (40% of the workforce), despite the increased level of education and the gap has been narrowing for some indicators of the labor market. These are the main findings of the report "Global Employment Trends Women" presented by the International Labour . "Women still constitute the workforce in large numbers. This progress should not pass unnoticed the great injustices that still exist in workplaces throughout the world," says the ILO Director General Juan Somavia. Many of them are still employed in vulnerable positions are not salaried or otherwise are not economically independent. The phenomenon is particularly common in the poorest regions of the world. Despite improvements in recent years, still too high and the proportion of female workers in positions of discomfort and uncertainty (almost 90% in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia). "The workplace and the world of work - said Somavia - are fundamental to the achievement of gender equality and the advancement of women in society. By promoting decent work for women, reinforcing the company and supports the economic and social progress. " As evidence of this shows that the areas where there has been significant economic growth are those with the highest female participation in work, more low rates of unemployment and fewer differences in the distribution in the area of \u200b\u200buse. " access to labor markets and to decent work is crucial to achieving equal opportunities " said Evy Messell, Director of ILO Office for Equal Opportunities, "but women must still overcome many obstacles discrimination when seeking employment. The companies can not afford to ignore the potential of women's work for poverty reduction and must seek innovative ways to break down the barriers to economic, social and political issues. provide a basis of equality for women in employment do not only ethically wrong, it is also an investment intelligent in the long term. " Today, for every ten men in employment, women who work there are seven. If it is true, the report's authors stress that not all women want to work, it is certain that all women should be given the opportunity to choose whether to work or not. And if they choose to work, must be given the opportunity to choose and remunerative work with the same rights as their male colleagues.

Gender Gap: Italy 84esima

Italy is lagging behind the EU countries, only 84esima in the world rankings on gender disparities. This is the result of the study of the World Economic Forum (WEF) the gap between men and women for the year 2007. The "Global Gender Gap Index 'provides a comprehensive framework for the assessment and comparison of gender differences in terms of opportunities. Four areas of inquiry: participation and opportunity, economic culture, political empowerment, health and survival. The paper examines and compares 128 countries, representing 90 percent of the world population. The study is at the top ranks of countries, irrespective of the availability of resources, have their equal distribution between women and men. The first places were won by Sweden, Norway, Finland and Iceland, followed by New Zealand. The Latvia and Lithuania, 13th and 14th place respectively, showed the most rapid progress, gaining six seven positions respectively in just twelve months. Germany, Spain, Korea, United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia are still countries that have closed the gap more than gender history. Tunisia, Morocco and Turkey recorded a sharp deterioration rather than in 2006. Italy has slowly slipped from 77th position in 2006 to the current position. "It is hoped - said Saadia Zahidi Head of the Women Leaders Programme - that these findings will generate greater awareness and encourage greater dialogue between the political authorities."
