- Description
- 'In this report, authors present an overview of the information provided to workers in the project countries .and the extent to which they make use of it. The first way in which women can get answers to their questions is by visiting the information that is provided on the websites, as over 6 million people from these 12 countries did in the last year. Authors firstly describe the information that is provided for free through the WageIndicator websites. Then authors analyse the relative frequency at which the different topics are being consulted by web visitors, by studying the 11 million page views that the websites got between May 2014 and May 2015. .The second way that workers can address the Labour Rights for Women project for answers is through direct contact with the local teams. In the second part of this report, authors relate the experiences of local team members, who answer questions sent via email or posed in meetings and work place visits. Together, these two analyses provide a picture of the issues that women workers in the twelve countries deal with and the problems they attempt to solve.'

- Description
- 'In this final policy package a wide range of experts from civil society, policy, research and employers develop a much deeper understanding for the challenges in reconciling work and family life and to showcase different practices, which were used as inspiration for drawing up concrete policy recommendations. In the last few years, there has been a growing demand for policies that support the achievement of the targets on gender equality, closing the gender and pension pay gap, women’s participation in decision making, the Barcelona targets for early childhood education and care, and a better reconciliation between work and family life. In the context of the EU 2020 Strategy, whilst not framed as a headline target, reconciliation measures have nevertheless been recognised at EU level as important means of achieving major policy objectives.'

- Description
- 'Authors examine the extent to which Collective Bargaining Agreements contributes to the empowerment of women in work. 186 Collective bargaining agreements are compared in Guatemala, Indonesia, Kenya, Mozambique, Peru, South Africa, Tanzania and Uganda in terms of pay, working hours and work-family clauses. Almost all agreements have clauses regarding wages, but only 26 out of 186 have detailed pay scales showing what workers in different occupations should earn. .Up to 84% contain clauses on standard working hours, schedules and holidays. Just over six in ten agreements .guarantee paid maternity leave and offer job security after maternity leave. .On average, the agreements offer better working conditions than the legal requirements in every country. .Only one of the collective agreements has set working hours that are longer than the legal standard, .four in ten agreements copy the legal standard exactly, whereas nearly six in ten offer shorter hours. Two .agreements offer shorter annual leaves than the statutory entitlement, three in ten agreements follow the law .and all others offer longer leaves. However, the collective agreements do not always offer more maternity .leave than the law. While three in four agreements copy the law, 17% offer less than the legal standard. In .Mozambique, South Africa and Uganda, collective agreements sometimes offer only the compulsory leave, .meaning the duration of weeks that it is legally forbidden for the mother to work, rather than the standard .provisions for paid maternity leave.'

It reviews the instruments of the ILO system of international labour standards that address the challenge of achieving gender equality. It also presents an overview of different current labour market indicators, focusing on gender pay gaps, and looks at the future of work and the challenges the region faces to eliminate gender inequalities. Finally, it provides recommendations that may guide governments, employers and workers in their actions for more effective, equitable spaces for employees in the future.

- Description
- 'In this report authors give an overview of the most important laws protecting women’s rights as workers. .With this goal in mind, authors do not limit the scope of this report to those rights that apply exclusively to women, but include all those issues that are crucial to workers who are women. As in the frst Labour Rights for Women report, authors look firstly at the legal framework enabling women’s participation and representation in the workplace, the contracts under which they can be employed and the wages to which they are entitled. .Authors then study the legislation regarding non-discrimination, maternity arrangements and protection from sexual harassment. .The report focuses on the legislation that exists in the twelve countries (Egypt, Kenya, Mozambique, South Africa, Tanzania,Uganda, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Guatemala, Paraguay and Peru) in the Labour Rights for Women Project. In order to retain its practical value, this report does not provide an exhaustive list of all relevant legislation and policy in the twelve countries, but an impression of the most important rights that women should be able to rely on.'

- Description
- 'In this publication an examination of recent economic developments, policies and prospects in India. Special chapters cover health, female entrepreneurship, the manufacturing sector and economic participation of women. The female economic participation is increasing and more and better employment for women has a high growth potential. Female economic participation is low, reducing growth and living standards. Many women work in marginal jobs and have much lower pay than men. A host of factors constrain women in the labour market, including cultural norms, safety concerns, lack of child care and poor infrastructure. At the same time, high unemployment among educated women, revealed preference for work in surveys, and low net job creation point to demand problems.'
