Improving employment of rural women

Increasing incomes of rural women

Description

Improving employment of rural women involves implementing targeted measures to increase their access to decent work, skills training, and entrepreneurial opportunities. This strategy addresses barriers such as limited education, social restrictions, and inadequate infrastructure by promoting equal access to resources, supporting women-led enterprises, and facilitating market linkages. The practical intent is to enhance economic independence, reduce poverty, and foster community development by enabling rural women to participate fully and productively in the workforce.

Implementation

ILO acts to increase the capacity of governments, employers and workers organizations to design and implement policies and action programmes to improve employment and incomes of rural women, to extend their social and legal protection, and to promote their organizations.
