Paragraph
Paragraph text
Today only about half of women globally are in the labour force, compared to more than three-quarters of men. Three-quarters of their employment is in informal and unprotected work. That makes women far less likely than men to be in trade unions and enjoy work-related protections, including assembly and association rights.
