In the world of work, men and women are often "segregated" by their type of work, one of the main reasons women suffered more job losses during the COVID-19 crisis than men and are facing a slower recovery. Now, a joint programme of UN Women and the ILO has developed a new tool to help policymakers rethink the design of sectoral policies and make informed decisions on where to invest to have a greater impact on gender equality. In this podcast Valeria Esquivel, Employment Policies and Gender Specialist at the ILO and Marzia Fontana, a Research Associate at the Institute of Development Studies at the University of Sussex explain how.
This podcast is also available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
