12 Women Employment : Challenges Cont d Need to create inclusive employment policies Macroeconomic balances are not sufficient by themselves to overcome gender inequalities in the labour market. Requires policies that include objectives focusing on the integration and access on equal terms with men, Equal pay as the difference in equal pay is still wide Better functioning of labour institutions to generate quality employment and address gender inequalities Inclusive policies must also : Contribute to sustainable economic development Stimulate long term inclusion of growing segments of the labour force not covered by social protection

It calls on member States to put decent work at the core of their responses to the crisis.
26 Declaration on Social Justice for a Fair Globalization Governments, employers and workers from all member States call for a new strategy to sustain open economies and societies based on social justice, full and productive employment, sustainable enterprises and social cohesion. The Declaration acknowledges the benefits of globalization but calls for renewed efforts to implement decent work policies as the means to achieve improved and fair outcomes for all.
