Women are more likely than men to work in informal jobs with low pay and limited or no social protection benefits. They shoulder a disproportionate share of unpaid care and domestic work, and face interruptions and inequalities in paid work. They have more limited access to financial resources, assets and services than men. Women’s ability to contribute to social insurance (e.g., pensions) throughout their lives is often disrupted, making it difficult for women to save for their old age. These challenges are exacerbated in the context of crises and climate change, and for women and girls facing intersecting discrimination, for example, because of disability, LGBT+ status, race and ethnicity
