- Description
- 'The banking crisis that erupted in 2007 triggered a massive drop in investment, output and employment not only in Europe and the United States, which were at the epicentre of the crisis, but in other parts of the world as well. The subsequent recession followed by austerity measures and livelihood crises have in turn put in jeopardy the capacity of people to perform the unpaid work—including housework and care of persons —that occurs in homes and communities. .This paper suggests that finance, production and unpaid care and social reproduction are in fact interconnected and overlapping (Elson 2010). One of the advantages of a feminist analysis is to draw attention to their interconnections and to make visible what is often left out of mainstream accounts.'

- Description
- 'This issue of the Global Employment Trends for Women looks at the gender aspects of 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, and updates indicators on the situation of women in labour markets around the world. .This report reconfirms that gender inequality remains an issue within labour markets globally. Women suffer multiple disadvantages in terms of access to labour markets, and often do not have the same level of freedom as men to choose to work. Gender differences in labour force participation rates and unemployment rates are a persistent feature of global labour markets.'

- Description
- 'This report has three aims: reviewing the ILO’s progress in assisting constituents to achieve gender equality in the world of work: highlighting its current efforts to implement International Labour Conference (ILC) resolutions and Governing Body decisions on promoting gender equality and mainstreaming it in the Decent Work Agenda: and providing background for constituents to chart a strategic course for future work. The context of the current financial and economic crisis has made the analysis of successful initiatives especially relevant. The crisis will impact heavily on both women’s and men’s efforts to find and keep decent work, and the progress made by ILO constituents around the world is threatened. Recovery packages that are designed too hurriedly and without sufficient social dialogue may inadvertently exacerbate existing sex discrimination in the labour market. .The report makes the case for scaling up measures to eliminate sex discrimination in the world of work and highlights ILO interventions in all regions. The ILO approach is grounded in the rights-based argument and the economic efficiency rationale: not only is gender equality in the world of work a matter of human rights and justice for workers, it also makes good business sense for employers and is instrumental in achieving economic growth and poverty reduction at national levels.'

- Description
- ''The impact of the latest economic crisis on employment continues to be felt by both men and women workers in many countries. Further recovery measures should continue to seek innovative ways to create decent work to ensure that women – alongside men – have equal access to better education and training leading to jobs. Women should, as the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women says, have equal chances for careers in science and technology as men, as new jobs emerge and old jobs recover. In developed and middle-income countries the unemployment rate for women was on average higher than for men before the crisis, but job losses in sectors like manufacturing and construction, where men traditionally are employed, have had greater effects on the male unemployment rate. According to ILO data in Global Employment Trends 2011, the 2010 unemployment rate for men stood at 6%, whereas for women it was 6.5%.

- Description
- 'In exploring the recession’s impact on migration policies and patterns, author examines the decline in economic growth – including international trade, capital flows, development aid, and remittances – and analyses its links to joblessness and incomes, poverty and inequality, and changes in the labour force. The discussion draws on experiences of past recessions showing that job-market recovery takes longer than economic recovery. He then examines how these trends – and government reactions to them in both rich and poor countries – have been influencing migration overall.'
