Women’s economic empowerment in the changing world of work 2017, para. 15
- Paragraph text
- The Commission acknowledges that structural barriers to gender equality and gender-based discrimination persist in labour markets worldwide, which impose greater constraints on women than on men in balancing work and family responsibilities and that those structural barriers need to be eliminated in order for women to be able to participate fully in society and equally in the world of work. It also recognizes that progress in achieving women's economic empowerment in the changing world of work has been insufficient, impeding the realization of women's full potential and the full enjoyment of their human rights and fundamental freedoms.
