CIS Countries Change Their Approach to Women's Labor
A roundtable discussion titled "Labor Protection for Women" was held at the CIS Headquarters with the support of the Advisory Council on Labor, Employment, and Social Protection of the Population of the CIS Member States.
Nearly half of the working population in the Commonwealth countries are women, who require special state protection. Therefore, legal regulation in this area is extremely important. Participants of the meeting discussed innovations and relevant solutions for the employment of women in various economic sectors, taking into account the national characteristics of the Commonwealth countries.
In the CIS, significant attention is paid to creating decent working conditions for women. Countries are creating conditions for women to combine work with family responsibilities and implementing measures for potential career growth, among other initiatives. The Advisory Council on Labor, Employment, and Social Protection of the Population has approved Recommendations on the Formation of a Model List of Work Types, Professions, and Positions Where the Employment of Women is Prohibited or Restricted. This document is in demand by relevant ministries and departments in the development of national regulatory acts in the field of labor protection.
The agreed Resolution of the roundtable will be sent by the CIS Executive Committee to the Commonwealth countries.
