- The world-wide feminisation of the work force will continue. Around 45 % of women aged 15-64 have jobs or are job seekers.
- Priority areas for action for trade unions are: more and better jobs for women; gender issues in collective bargaining; equal pay for work of equal value; access for women to promotion; gender awareness for men and women union members and employers; combating violence against women at work; life-long education for women, in particular vocational training.
- Unions need women as much as women need unions. Organising women workers in both the formal and informal sectors is a high priority for the ICFTU and its affiliates.
