The world of work is changing, yet many gender gaps remain stubbornly in place. Persistent challenges include unequal pay, occupational segregation and women’s concentration in the most precarious roles in the informal economy, as well as widespread undervaluation and unequal distribution of unpaid work between men and women.  

Labour market shifts in the years to come may exacerbate these challenges or present new ones. Yet they may also present opportunities to improve gender equality and women’s economic rights.
