The importance of social protection measures in achieving Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) 2010, para. 51
Párrafo
Paragraph text
Women tend to work in sectors greatly affected by economic instability. During economic crises, they are thus often the first to lose their jobs. Furthermore, owing to lower levels of education, less control over productive resources and access to different supportive networks, they have weaker negotiating positions than men and fewer chances of finding other income-generating activities in which to engage.
