7.5.6 Women and disabled persons: Institutional design and capacity building
   

Increasing female enrolments in secondary and tertiary education is critically important, especially in subject areas that have been traditionally male dominated and where long-term occupational prospects are more promising. With relatively small (and in some countries, contracting) formal sectors, the number of women who will be able to benefit from increased access to and higher completion rates at tertiary education and training institutions will be only a very small fraction of the total female population. Even though the main beneficiaries of any policy interventions are likely to be from non-poor socio-economic backgrounds, increasing the representation of women and the disabled in top-level professional and managerial jobs is of vital importance for improving the overall position of these two disadvantaged groups in society as a whole.

About the Author


International Labour Organization
(Visit International's Website)
As the world's only tripartite multilateral agency, the ILO is dedicated to bringing decent work and livelihoods, job-related security and better living standards to the people of both poor and rich countries. It helps to attain those goals by promoting rights at work, encouraging opportunities for decent employment, enhancing social protection and strengthening dialogue on work-related issues. The ILO is the international meeting place for the world of work. We are the experts on work and employment and particularly on the critical role that these issues play in bringing about economic development and progress. At the heart of our mission is helping countries build the institutions that are the bulwarks of democracy and to help them become accountable to the people. The ILO formulates international labour standards in the form of Conventions and Recommendations setting minimum standards of basic labour rights: freedom of association, the right to organize, collective bargaining, abolition of forced labour, equality of opportunity and treatment and other standards addressing conditions across the entire spectrum of work-related issues.
