A new generation of gender-responsive employment policies can play an important role to promote an inclusive and job-rich recovery from the COVID-19 crisis. This webinar will bring together experts and policymakers from different regions to share knowledge on how they have produced specific diagnostics on how women and men have been impacted by the crisis, and the ways in which they have progressed in implementing gender-responsive policies.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had devastating impacts on the work of work, especially for women. These gendered impacts of the crisis have been recognized in the Global call to action for a human-centred recovery from the COVID-19 crisis that is inclusive, sustainable and resilient  which calls for gender-responsive employment policies, particularly macroeconomic, sectoral and active labour market policies that address effectively the gender-specific effects of the COVID-19 crisis and support the creation of full and productive employment for women and men, including in the care sectors.

This webinar will bring policymakers, academic experts and ILO employment specialists from different regions to share knowledge on how they have produced specific diagnostics on how women and men have been impacted by the crisis, and the ways in which they have progressed in implementing gender-responsive employment policies.

TIME: 14:00 to 15:30 CET
