ILO Gender News: No. 19, November 2012

This newsletter illustrates some of ILO’s successful responses to the labour market situation of women in terms of unemployment, the pay gap and the growing informal economy, along with the role played by workers’ and employers' organizations in bringing about gender equality at the workplace. Examples of joint work with other UN agencies - such as on decent work for women in rural areas during the Commission on the Status of Women - are also reported.

Readers will find a summary of gender-related issues that were discussed at the 2012 Session of the Conference and a list of new ILO resources.
