First cooperation between the ILO and UNFPA in Ukraine

Two studies and a public campaign are planned in the framework of the Memorandum of Understanding.

A total of 1000 Ukrainian workers in addition to 100 women and 100 men employers will be interviewed in order to collect comprehensive data on the situation of women and men in the Ukrainian labour market. The second study will analyse discriminatory job advertisement practices in newspapers.

Research findings will be presented and discussed at a one-day national tripartite conference in early 2013.
