- Global Employment Trends for Women
[ www.ilo.org ]
Languages: English
The Global Employment Trends 2009 examined the most current information available in order
to assess the impact of the financial crisis and slowdown in world economic growth on jobs and
what we could expect from several possible scenarios for the way the situation might evolve in the
year ahead. This issue of the Global Employment Trends for Women looks at the gender aspects of this
impact, and updates indicators on the situation of women in labour markets around the world. ILO, 2009
- Asia in the Global Economic Crisis: Impacts and Responses from a Gender Perspective
[ www.ilo.org ]
Languages: English
This Technical Note focuses on the gender dimensions of the current global crisis. Its
purpose is (i) to discuss how and why the economic crisis will affect men’s and women’s
employment and incomes differently and unequally; and (ii) to advocate that these are
important considerations for successful national responses. Failure to take into account the
gender dimensions of the crisis may make national responses less than effective; worse, they
may aggravate the working and living conditions of certain groups of workers and deepen
economic and social inequalities. ILO 2009

Successful social dialogue among government, trade unions, employers, is key when it comes to improving gender equality and changing perceptions about women workers. This can be quite a challenge where gender discrimination runs deep. But things can change, even in very traditional societies, like Yemen. ILO, 2009.
