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.

Internationalt overblik over ligestilling mellem kønnene på arbejdsmarkedet, opfølgning af ILO beslutninger og baggrundsmateriale til fremtidens arbejde.

Global ILO campaign aiming to 1. increase general awareness and understanding of gender equality issues in the world of work; 2. highlight the specific linkages between gender equality and securing decent work for all women and men; 3. promote the ratification and application of key ILO gender equality labour standards; and 4. advocate the importance of overcoming existing barriers to gender equality as beneficial for all.

The report analyses the ways in which unpaid care work is recognised and organised, the extent and quality of care jobs and their impact on the well-being of individuals and society. A key focus of this report is the persistent gender inequalities in households and the labour market, which are inextricably linked with care work. These gender inequalities must be overcome to make care work decent and to ensure a future of decent work for both women and men. The report contains a wealth of original data drawn from over 90 countries and details transformative policy measures in five main areas: care, macroeconomics, labour, social protection and migration. It also presents projections on the potential for decent care job creation offered by remedying current care work deficits and meeting the related targets of the Sustainable Development Goals.
