Why is it important?
The paper highlights the fact that gender objectives have gained recognition and public policy momentum, yet gender segregation, wage inequality and low participation rates for females in tertiary education and the professional workforce do not match the rhetoric of the policy pronouncements.
Perspectives
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) represent the new blueprint to achieving a better and more sustainable future for all. The SDGs address global challenges including those related to inequality, poverty, decent work, gender equality and prosperity.
