The world women are less likely to get good jobs

Washington, district of Colombia--worldwide, men are nearly twice as likely than women to have "good work" that are linked to better the welfare of. According to the Gallup survey of more than 130 countries 33 per cent of the population in the world of adult men working full-time for an employer against 18% of all women.


Employment for the employer is a global measure of Gallup in the "good work" Metric strongly refers to a country's GDP per capita above the welfare of its inhabitants. Gallup defines respondents as employed full time for the employer, if they work at least 30 hours per week for the employer.

Employment vary by region, but more men than women working full-time for an employer in the world. "Good work" the gap between men and women of wide in the Middle East and North Africa and South Asia, where men in at least three times more frequently than women working full-time for an employer. In each of these regions, however, less than one quarter of women are part of the workforce.

Worldwide, the tend to be less frequently than men as members of the labour force are women. About half of women (51%) of the labour force is, they don't work and are not available for work or looking for it these women may be retirees, students and housewives, although some of them may not correspond to any of these criteria for comparison approximately every fourth man does not have the force.

About half (49%), women in the labour force--means that they are working or available for a job or actively looking for him. just over three out of four men (76%) fall into this category. More limited participation of women in the formal sector highlights areas where a large proportion of the potential labour force is not a maximum. This potentially could have economic consequences for countries with large employment inequality between the sexes. It is important to note that a large labour force does not necessarily mean that good jobs are widely available in a given country or region. In addition, in many developing countries, women are responsible for child-rearing and housework. The increase in the number of good jobs does not guarantee that women will come out of their current role.

Women in the workforce, more apt to be part-time
Women who are part of the workforce are more likely than men to be unemployed and underemployed. Nine per cent of women are unemployed--which Gallup defines as not working and available and actively looking for work--about 6% of men fall into this category. Almost a quarter (23%) are underemployed--means they are unemployed or underemployed and desiring full--while one of the six underemployed men (16%).

Underemployment of women is highest in sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America, with a capacity less than one in three women in the labour force. Underemployment is low in the Commonwealth of independent States (CIS) and Eastern Asia, where men and women have a relatively low rate of underemployment. The CIS is the only region in the world where women are less likely than men to be incomplete.

The Effects Of
Labour force participation has important economic and social benefits for individuals and countries. For individuals good work can bring economic independence and to participate more fully in society and improve well-being. Good work can also provide guarantees, such as insurance and labour rights, inaccessible by other jobs.

Good work to accelerate economic growth. Countries with a large proportion of women and youth of the workforce are not maximizing the major segments of the population, which could contribute to economic growth. These countries should focus on job creation and economic participation of all sectors of society.
