<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Globally, youth unemployment remains an issue of concern. Unemployment is affecting young women<br />
more than young men in almost all regions of the world. In Northern Africa and the Arab States, the female<br />
youth unemployment rate is almost double that of young men, reaching as high as 44.3 and 44.1 per cent,<br />
respectively. In contrast, youth unemployment is higher for young men than for young women in Northern<br />
America, Eastern Asia and Northern, Southern and Western Europe. As a result of the financial crisis,<br />
this inverse gender gap in youth unemployment has even increased in Northern, Southern and Western<br />
Europe and in Northern America; in this last region, however, there have been some signs of the narrowing<br />
of gaps in recent years.<br />
<br />
In 2015, a total of 586 million women were own-account or contributing family workers. Women remain<br />
overrepresented as contributing family workers. Some progress has been made, however, in closing the<br />
gender gap in this regard. Globally, the share of contributing family workers has decreased significantly<br />
among women (by 17.0 percentage points over the last 20 years) and to a lesser extent among men (by<br />
8.1 percentage points over the same period), resulting in a decrease in the gender gap from 19.5 percentage<br />
points in 1995 to 10.6 percentage points in 2015 (figure II). This trend is part of an economic<br />
restructuring shift away from agricultural work, which largely consisted of subsistence and small-scale<br />
activities. That said, however, many working women remain in employment statuses and in occupations<br />
that are more likely to consist of informal work arrangements. In sub-Saharan Africa and in Southern Asia,<br />
a high proportion of women work as contributing family workers (34.9 per cent and 31.8 per cent, respectively)<br />
or as own-account workers (42.5 per cent and 47.7 per cent, respectively).<br />
<br />
Moreover, 52.1 per cent of women and 51.2 per cent of men in the labour market are wage and salaried<br />
workers. This in itself constitutes no guarantee of higher job quality. In fact, globally, nearly 40 per cent of<br />
women in wage employment do not contribute to social protection. Those proportions reach 63.2 per cent<br />
in sub-Saharan Africa and 74.2 per cent in Southern Asia, where informal employment is the dominant<br />
form of employment. In Southern Asia, for instance, informal employment represents over 80 per cent of<br />
non-agricultural employment. In three out of six regions, informal employment is a greater source of non-agricultural<br />
employment for women than for men (sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean<br />
and Southern Asia). In this regard, gender gaps in informal employment can reach up to 13 percentage<br />
points, as is the case in sub-Saharan Africa.<br />
<br />
'''Sectoral and occupational segregation'''<br />
Globally, the services sector has overtaken agriculture as the sector that employs the highest number of<br />
women and men. By 2015, slightly more than half of the global working population was working in services<br />
(50.1 per cent). While 42.6 per cent of all men work in services, substantially more than half of the world’s<br />
women are employed in that sector: since 1995, women’s employment in services has increased from<br />
41.1 per cent to 61.5 per cent.<br />
Sectoral and occupational segregation contributes significantly to gender gaps both in terms of the number<br />
and the quality of jobs. Women in employment are overrepresented in a narrow range of sectors and occupations.<br />
In upper-middle-income countries, more than one third of women are employed in wholesale<br />
and retail trade services (33.9 per cent) and in the manufacturing sector (12.4 per cent). In high-income<br />
countries, the major source of employment for women is the health and education sector, which employs<br />
almost one third of all women in the labour market (30.6 per cent). Agriculture remains the most important<br />
source of employment for women in low-income and lower-middle-income countries. In Southern Asia and<br />
sub-Saharan Africa, over 60 per cent of all working women remain in agriculture, often concentrated in<br />
time and labour-intensive activities, which are unpaid or poorly remunerated.<br />
An analysis of 142 countries shows that women remain overrepresented (compared to their share in total<br />
employment) as “Clerical, service and sales workers” and in “Elementary occupations”. This is particularly<br />
the case in developed economies, where women constitute over 60 per cent and nearly 50 per cent of<br />
total employment in these two lowest paid occupations (figure III). By contrast, in developed countries,<br />
there is a slight relative overrepresentation of women in the highest paid occupational group “Managers,<br />
professionals and technicians” (48.1 per cent).<br />
<br />
'''Unpaid household and care work'''<br />
In both high and lower income countries, women continue to work fewer hours in paid employment, while<br />
performing the vast majority of unpaid household and care work. On average, women carry out at least<br />
two and a half times more unpaid household and care work than men in countries where the relevant data<br />
are available. Although this gender gap remains substantive, it has decreased over time, mostly because of<br />
some reduction in the time spent by women on housework, while there have been no significant reductions<br />
in the time that they spend on childcare. Women, however, continue to work longer hours per day than<br />
men when both paid work and unpaid work are taken into consideration. In particular, employed women<br />
(either in self-employment or wage and salaried employment), have longer working days on average than<br />
employed men, with a gender gap of 73 and 33 minutes per day in developing and developed countries,<br />
respectively (figure V). Even when women are employed, they still carry out the larger share of unpaid<br />
household and care work, which limits their capacity to increase their hours in paid, formal and wage and<br />
salaried work.<br />
<br />
'''Gender inequalities at work result in gender gaps in access to social<br />
protection, in particular maternity and old-age benefits'''<br />
The gender gap in employment and job quality means that women have limited access to employment-<br />
related social protection, where such schemes even exist. Lower rates of formal wage and salaried<br />
employment, together with fewer hours and fewer years in insured employment for women, have adverse<br />
consequences for seniority premiums in pay and for coverage by employment-related contributory<br />
schemes. In particular, maternity cash benefits and health care are essential if women’s specific needs<br />
during their active years are to be met, as are adequate pension levels for women in old age. As a consequence<br />
of gender gaps at work, coverage (both legal and effective) by contributory compulsory social protection<br />
schemes is lower for women than for men, leaving an overall gender social protection coverage gap.<br />
Globally, the proportion of women above retirement age receiving a pension is on average 10.6 percentage<br />
points lower than that of men (figure VII). Nearly 65 per cent of people above retirement age without any<br />
regular pension are women. This means that 200 million women in old age live without any regular income<br />
from social protection (old age or survivors pension), compared to 115 million men. Low female labour<br />
participation rates, together with the limited development of non-contributory pensions, weigh significantly<br />
on women’s effective pension coverage in Northern Africa, the Arab States and Southern Asia, where the<br />
proportions of older women in receipt of a pension are inferior to 10 per cent.<br />
<br />
'''Efforts must be made to tackle sectoral<br />
and occupational segregation'''<br />
Gender stereotypes of women and expectations by society that they will shoulder larger care responsibilities,<br />
lack of role models, a work culture that expects long working hours, the undervaluation of traditionally<br />
“feminine” skills and inadequate work-family measures limit the possibilities for women to overcome segregation<br />
and participate on an equal footing in political, social and economic life and decision-making and<br />
reach top-level positions. In this regard, affirmative action policies, including the setting of targets, goals<br />
or quotas, represent an important measure that can be applied by governments, trade unions, employers’<br />
organizations and companies to help remedy the severe underrepresentation of women and their concerns<br />
in decision-making in business and societies. Moreover, education, outreach and training programmes<br />
must be designed to encourage and enable girls, boys and young women and men to venture more into<br />
non-stereotypical fields of study and work. In particular, to reduce sectoral and occupational segregation,<br />
training and education systems should encourage young men to enter into care-related professions, while<br />
promoting women’s access to and prominence in both the study and professional exercise of science,<br />
technology, engineering, mathematics and related skills.<br />
<br />
'''Unpaid care work must be recognized, reduced and redistributed<br />
and harmonization achieved between work and family life'''<br />
<br />
Inadequate social protection and measures to balance work and family, including good quality jobs, services<br />
and infrastructure in public care, are a key concern for workers and businesses. The lack of such protection<br />
and measures impedes women’s access to more and decent jobs. In many countries, inadequate<br />
access to water supply, sanitation, electricity, roads, safe transport and health-care services is a crucial<br />
factor behind the time spent by women on unpaid work and their disadvantaged position in the labour<br />
force. The inadequacy or total lack of childcare, disability and long-term care services, and services which<br />
do not meet the needs of workers, care recipients and providers in terms of availability, cost and quality,<br />
are also important factors. Economic crises and the related cuts in public spending on social benefits,<br />
services, jobs and working conditions in the public sector have also exacerbated the existing care deficits<br />
in both high- and low-income settings. Consequently, the responsibility to fill care gaps is taken up<br />
by women in the course of their lives in the form of low-paid and unpaid care and household work. The<br />
undervaluation of care work, both paid and unpaid, perpetuates poor working conditions for women, who<br />
form the vast majority of the employed care workforce, in particular domestic workers, early childhood<br />
care and education personnel, and long-term care workers and nurses, an increasingly large number of<br />
whom are migrant workers.<br />
In this regard, governments should increase their social investment in basic infrastructure and measures<br />
to balance work and family commitments, ensure that care work is evaluated in a gender-responsive<br />
way, promote decent and adequately paid jobs in the care economy, with a focus on public provision,<br />
and make good-quality and affordable childcare and other social care services a universal right. Social<br />
protection schemes should be geared to guarantee equality of treatment between men and women, to<br />
take into account gender roles and to serve as a mechanism for the achievement of gender equality. In<br />
addition, nationally designed social protection floors can and should serve as a gender-transformative tool<br />
by addressing women’s specific life contingencies, such as maternity, and by recognizing, reducing and<br />
redistributing unpaid care and household work.</div>Maral
