- title:
- Recommendation 4: Continue analysing and enhancing focus on the needs of women with regards to formalisation and decent work throughout the last programme Phase.
Data collected throughout Phases I and II has demonstrated that women face particular challenges in obtaining formal employment. Challenges link both to the general labour market trends (same as for men), but also to issues related to childcare, and social perceptions on women’s employment.
After an initial lack of focus on women in the programme, more attention is paid to these particular needs in the recent months and in Phase III. This trend should be strengthened and continued in Phase III and future projects.
Actions to be taken can include:
- Continue disaggregating indicators and progress assessments by gender, to determine whether overall approaches are equally effective for men and women
- Continue researching what particular challenges women face in terms of formalisation and decent work
- Assess the barriers faced by employers to provide equal opportunities to women and to hire women on formal contracts. This can be achieved through roundtable discussions and collaboration with industry associations to understand and address these barriers.
- Consider mentorship programmes for women to enhance employability.
