Women and the economy: 30 years after the Beijing Declaration

This brief presents an updated and comprehensive statistical snapshot of gender equality in the world of work 30 years after the Beijing Platform for Action.

Utilising labour market indicators, primary and secondary data, and adopting a multidimensional perspective, this brief provides both historical trends as well as more recent insights into the evidence of gender (in)equality in the world of work. As the 2030 deadline for the SDGs draws closer, strengthening this evidence-base is key to inform effective policy action for sustainable change and a world of work that works for all men and women, leaving no one behind.
