It is evident that Optimal utilization of human resource
is essential for achieving inclusive growth as well as
promoting gender equity.
Patriarchal mindset, roles and responsibilities assumed
by the society often place women in inequitable
positions, which is often reflected in the world of work.
Therefore, creating enabling environment for all is
essential for achieving gender equity
Globally, Gender mainstreaming is an important part of
policy discussions. Nations are recognizing the
importance of gender parity and taking necessary
steps to bridge this gaps.
Access to quality education, skill development, decent
jobs, sharing of family responsibilities and Effective
implementation of existing affirmative policies are
some of the initiatives for narrowing this gap.
Implementation of affirmative policies will positively
change the individual mindset and behavior in the
World of Work and this will be positively reflected in the
behavior of Individuals in the Family, Community,
Society, and Nation and consequently worldwide.
It is in this context, that the V.V. Giri National Labour
Institute is organizing the International Training
Programme on Gender Issues in the world of work with
