Women have more difficulty accessing the world Job than previously thought, and the gap in wages and working conditions has remained virtually unchanged over the past two decades, warned UN this Monday.

International Labor Organization (ILO) He said he has developed a new indicator that better measures the unemployment rate and identifies all the unemployed who are looking for work.

This paints a “much bleaker picture of the situation of women in world of work than speed unemploymentmost commonly used,” the agency said UN in a statement two days after International Women’s Day.

“New data show that women still have much greater difficulty finding work than men,” the agency said in a statement.

According to the data ILO15% of women of working age worldwide would like to have Jobbut does not have it, compared to 10.5% of men.

“This gender gap has hardly changed in two decades,” the organization noted.

In contrast, the official unemployment rates for men and women are very similar.

This is due, according to ILObecause the criteria used to determine whether someone should be officially considered unemployed tends to disproportionately exclude women.

Personal and family responsibilities

According to the report, personal and family responsibilitiesincluding unpaid work Caredisproportionately affects women.

This activity prevents women workwho are actively looking for work or available on short notice.

“Labor shortages are particularly serious in developing countries, where the share of women those who cannot find a job reaches 24.9% in low-income countries,” the agency said in a statement.

Employment is not the only problem. ILO noted that women tend to be overrepresented in some vulnerable positions, including family business assistance.

“This vulnerabilitycoupled with lower employment rates, affects earnings women”, the agency said in a statement.

ILO concluded that “worldwide, for every dollar labor income than men earn, women earn only 51 cents.
