Volumen 2 – Potencial de las políticas de comercio e inversión para abordar los problemas del mercado de trabajo en las cadenas de suministro

7. Comercio y género: afrontar los obstáculos al trabajo decente de las mujeres a través de la política comercial

This chapter focuses on trade policy and gender issues. It unpacks how WTO agreements, national policies and specific programmes, such as Aid for Trade, could interact to promote a “blended approach” to gender-responsive trade policymaking. This approach, which places women’s economic empowerment as a central focus of trade policy, would support formal employment while also advancing decent work objectives.
