The
2010 ILO report focuses on the relationship of women to labour markets and
compares employment outcomes for men and women to the best degree possible,
given the latest available labour market indicators from the ILO Key Indicators
of the Labour Market. The main findings highlight a continuing gender disparity
in terms of both opportunities and quality of employment. There have certainly
been areas of improvement particularly in raising female participation but, in
general, the circumstances of female employment – the sectors where women work,
the types of work they do, the relationship of women to the job, the wages they
receive – bring fewer gains to women than are brought to the typical working
male.
