More Women Work for Less

More women are in the global workplace than ever before, but women still are not paid the same as men for equal work, according to a new report by the International Labor Organization (ILO), an arm of the United Nations.

The report, Global Employment Trends for Women 2004, was prepared for International Women’s Day, March 8. The report provides “stark picture of the status of women in the world of work today,” says ILO Director-General Juan Somavia. “Women must have an equal chance of raising to the top of the jobs ladder.” For a copy of the report, visit:
