Dear friends,
Today is women’s day,so I thought to share with you the report “Economic crises and women’s work: Exploring progressive strategies in a rapidly changing global environment” prepared for UNWOMEN, where we examined
issues of women’s employment and decent work in the context of the ongoing global financial and economic crisis. Recognizing the significant role of informal work, it considers how informal work affects the self-employed,
those employed by micro-enterprises, unpaid workers in family businesses and those who provide unpaid care activities. It focuses on the implications of the current crisis
for women workers and how labour markets have responded, and it analyses crisis-response strategies that endeavour to ensure the stability and/or expansion of
women’s employment and to improve its conditions. This examination leads to policy recommendations relevant to different contexts.
I hope you find the report useful:

Happy women’s day to all
