Gender and Labor Markets

Gender and labor markets refer to how jobs, wages, and career opportunities differ between men and women. In many societies, systemic barriers can limit women's access to certain jobs, leadership roles, and fair pay, often due to discrimination or traditional gender roles. Labor market development aims to create fairer employment practices that support equality, ensuring that everyone, regardless of gender, has the same opportunities to succeed in their careers. This includes promoting policies that address wage gaps, encourage women's participation in various fields, and enhance work-life balance for all employees.
