Mr. Chairman,
Increasing numbers of women are entering the labour force worldwide, yet the quality of their jobs is often below the "threshold of decency". This often entails long hours of work in addition to women's unpaid household duties, low pay, job insecurity, unhealthy and dangerous conditions, sexual harassment and a lack of social protection, representation and a say in decision-making. In addition, women are disproportionately concentrated in the informal economy and outside International Labour Standards and social protection systems. Much of women's work in global production chains and forms of labour such as domestic work, migrant labour and home work where women predominate is excluded from the scope of social protection and fair compensation. Despite near-universal ratification of the ILO Convention on equal remuneration for work of equal value (No. 100) adopted over 50 years ago, there is little progress in closing the gender pay gap. Such poor conditions for women also threaten those of men affecting the livelihoods of families in what is a race to the bottom. [...] [...] The ILO Decent Work Agenda is an important vehicle for the practical implementation of Section F on "Women and the Economy" of the Beijing Platform for Action. [...] Achieving decent work means the creating jobs with rights and social protection through meaningful social dialogue between governments and actors in the business and labour communities and in civil society. |
