Abstract

women workers

gender equality

employment policy

sustainable development

Gender equality and women’s empowerment are part of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), adopted by the UN in 2015. The SDGs call for action to ensure that economic growth is not only socially and economically sustainable, but also environmentally sustainable. Integrating gender equality principles into various employment promotion strategies and approaches, and giving focus to the role of women in the labour market and society, are fundamental to ensuring that such development goals can be achieved.
