WHO Gender, Work and Health

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has published two booklets on gender issues and working conditions.
One booklet provides an overview of the differences and inequalities in work and health between women and men, and highlights issues of particular importance to women. Advice for action is provided at different levels: government, employers, workers and researchers.

The second booklet is a practical resource which provides advice and tools for employers and worker representatives for building healthy and equitable workplaces for women and men while bringing needed attention to issues predominantly affecting women.
