This joint publication focuses on the status of women in the labour market in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is created to support the work of the issue-based coalition for Decent Work of the Women Forum for Development, supported by UNDP and the Agency for Gender Equality of Bosnia and Herzegovina of the Ministry of Human Rights and Refugees of Bosnia and Herzegovina. 

The publication elaborates on root causes of the unequal position of women at the labor market. It identifies the entry points for stopping and reducing the trend of the growing gender gap in the labour market which has reached an infamous and alarming record of 26%.

Drawing on the latest available data, the publication proposes measures, incentives and affirmative measures that can trigger system wide changes needed to improve position of women at the labor market.
