"More women are working than ever before, but they are also more likely than men to get low-productivity, low-paid and vulnerable jobs, with no social protection, basic rights or voice at work," the ILO report issued for International Womens Day says.
"Global employment trends for women - March 2008", says that the number of employed women grew by almost 200 million over the last decade, to reach 1.2 billion in 2007 compared to 1.8 billion men. However, the number of unemployed women also grew from 70.2 to 81.6 million over the same period.
"Women continue to enter the world's workforce in great numbers. This progress must not obscure the glaring inequities that still exist in workplaces throughout the world," said ILO Director General Juan Somavia.
"The workplace and the world of work are at the centre of global solutions to address gender equality and the advancement of women in society. By promoting decent work for women, we are empowering societies and advancing the cause of economic and social development for all," said Somavia.
The report also shows improvement in the status of women in labour markets throughout the world but they have not substantially narrowed gender gap in the workplace.

If one has to see how pitiable is the working condition of women in India, all they have to do is to go to Tamil Nadu or the city Chennai. Young girls work from morning 9 AM to night 9 PM in sweatshop conditions in unhygienic surroundings in Chennai. In T Nagar shops women are made to stand and work for 12 hours. There is absolutely no administration in the city of Chennai. Most construction workers are women the major reason being the fact that the women is paid much less than the men.. Men are very lazy and are slave like and are drunkards. The Tamil Nadu government is controlled by pimps and prostitutes from the film world. Presently its chief minister is one Karunanidhi, who has not seen the veranda of a school, and have some six wives. He came to power by promising to distribute TV sets to the idiotic Tamils. He is projection his son Stalin who is a rapist like Rahul Gandhi, and had abducted and raped one muslim girl by name Fatima Babu. Traditionally the Chief Ministers of Tamil Nadu controls the home portfolio and thus the police force.Police men are the most corrupt in India. Police men are involved in rape of wives of jail inmates and other vulnerable women.
