    Gender Mainstreaming at the Labour Market of Ukraine and Role of the Public Employment Service

    01 January 2010

    This report is the outcome of the project on Gender Mainstreaming in the Public Employment Service of Ukraine (PES), initiated by the ILO Decent Work Technical Support Team and Country Office for Central and Eastern Europe in Budapest within the large-scale project "Gender Equality in the World of Work," implemented in Ukraine by the ILO and co-funded by the European Union and the ILO. The main objective of the project is to develop an action plan for the Public Employment Service (PES) of Ukraine to improve its capacity in developing and implementing gender-sensitive labour market policies, programmes and services. The project also aims to ensure that the PES proactively encourages equal outcomes regarding male and female employment and vertical and horizontal gender desegregation of the labour market.
