- Description
- Part I of the report retraces the growth of the awareness that discrimination in employment and occupation, in its different forms, is intolerable. The report reviews some of the milestones since the Second World War in the international recognition of discrimination and commitment to its elimination. Part II examines gender disparities in labour force participation rates, unemployment rates, remuneration and the jobs performed by most women and most men, within the serious limitations of the data available on the extent of the different forms of discrimination. Part III considers the work of the ILO and of the social partners in eliminating discrimination. In Part IV, the report outlines a plan of action for addressing discrimination at work, to facilitate the efforts of the tripartite constituents to find appropriate solutions.
