This book looks how trade unions and other membership based workers' organizations worldwide may support gender equality. Traditionally, collective agreements cover only male dominated industries and the public sector and sub-contracted workers are usually not included. However, collective bargaining agendas more often address issues such as workplace discrimination, equal pay for equal work and female leadership. The book considers new ways of organizing workers in informal employment and the support by trade unions in networks developed with ngo's. Concluded is that a broader perspective focusing on citizen's and labour rights is crucial for amplying the the effect of collective bargaining on gender equality in the future.

Since the ILO's founding in 1919, gender equality and non-discrimination have been pillars of its mission to promote social justice through the world of work. As the Organization approaches its second century, it has chosen to focus on women at work as one of its centenary initiatives. Women at Work: Trends 2016 is a key contribution to these efforts and seeks to further the central goals of the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda. The report provides a picture of where women stand today in the world of work and how they have progressed over the past 20 years. It examines the global and regional labour market trend and gaps, including in labour force participation rates, employment-to-population rates and unemployment rates, as well as differences in the type and status in employment, hours spent in paid and unpaid work, sectoral segregation and gender gaps in wages and social protection. It also presents an in-depth analysis of the gender gaps in the quality of work and explores the key policy drivers for gender transformative change. The discussions and related recommendations focus on three main dimensions: sectoral and occupational segregation, the gender wage gap, and gaps in the policy framework for work and family integration.

What is the place of women in global labour policies? 'Women?s ILO: Transnational Networks, Global Labour Standards, and Gender Equity, 1919 to Present' gathers new research on a century of ILO engagement with women?s work. It asks: what was the role of women?s networks in shaping ILO policies and what were the gendered meanings of international labour law in a world of uneven and unequal development? Intersectional, transnational, and interdisciplinary, Women?s ILO explores gendered dynamics on issues like equal remuneration, home-based labour, and social welfare and practices in places like Argentina, Italy, Ghana, and internationally, expanding the boundaries of feminism, charting the disparate advancement of gender equity, and highlighting the significant role of women experts and activists in these processes.
