ITUC Report - Gender (in)equality in the labour market

An overview of global trends and developments

In 2008, the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) concentrated on the existing inequalities in remuneration between men and women, and published a report on the global gender pay gap. This year, the scope has been extended to not only include equal pay, but also the effects of the current global economic downturn on women’s pay and employment. Furthermore, a special focus chapter has been included on the impact of violence against women on society. The independent research organisation Incomes Data Services has carried out this project on behalf of the ITUC.
