Over the past few years, international organizations and experts have increasingly turned attention to how trends such as technological change, demographic change, accelerated globalization, environmental degradation and the shift towards sustainable jobs will impact the world of work. There has been limited analysis on the gender dimensions of such trends, which present significant challenges to and opportunities for women’s human rights. The present report focuses on women’s rights to work and at work, setting out a vision for a world of work that starts with women’s human rights, taking into account the current context and the changing trends. Transforming the current economic model to one that realizes women’s human rights through the redistribution of power and resources is central to realizing this vision. 9. The present report is being finalized during the rapidly evolving coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, which will have significant implications for women’s work. Globally, women make up 70 per cent of frontline workers in the health and social sector across a range of occupations. At the same time, women already bear a disproportionate responsibility for the care of children, the elderly and people with disabilities. The pandemic is further intensifying and increasing levels of violence against women, women’s unpaid care and domestic workloads, while the economic impact will place women’s livelihoods and economic security at significant risk. Women in the most vulnerable forms of informal work will be the most harshly affected. 10. The present report is based on a wealth of information elicited through various means, including regional expert consultations and responses to a questionnaire sent to Governments and other stakeholders. The Working Group wishes to express gratitude to all stakeholders for their contributions. 3 1 2 3 See www.ohchr.org/EN/Issues/Women/WGWomen/Pages/Communications.aspx.
