Workshop on Policies for Gender Equality and Competitive Female Labor


There is a strong link among gender equality, productivity, and national economic competitiveness. Countries with greater equality between genders are more productive, have higher levels of economic growth, and better development outcomes. However, in the world of work, women everywhere tend to experience higher unemployment, unfair treatment, working poverty due to lower wages, precarity in employment, and higher informal-sector employment rates caused by various reasons and backgrounds.

As the APO Vision 2025 promotes social inclusion including promotion of female participation in the labor market, this workshop offers an opportunity to explore ways to eliminate gender inequality in the workplace, allowing women to contribute more to the economy and earn decent livelihoods, especially in APO members. It will also promote a better understanding of the current situation around gender issues and the incorporation of measures to create opportunities for women in employment policies and plans.
