"9 years after launching the “decent work” concept, half of the planet’s labour force makes less than $2 a day and in 2007 the women’s employment rate was 49% of the entire population, compared to that of the men, 74.3%.
In Romania, only 15% of the total number of employees benefit from decent work places and the number of women who risk becoming victims of poverty is approximately 10% higher than that of men. The discrepancy between salaries is obvious as men earn more than women in most economic fields and the monthly difference is approximately 1/3 of the minimum basic salary at country level.
The study conducted by the International Labour Organisation published on the occasion of International Woman’s Day clearly shows that Europe can no longer afford to ignore women’s potential and access to the labour market and to decent jobs is crucial for achieving gender equality. Access to decent work for all citizens must be a priority of employment policies because this is the basic social inclusion mechanism and, at the same time, the only sustainable solution for the fight against poverty."@en1
