Correspondence of national legislation with ILO/EU Standards regarding non-discrimination and gender equality at work

Abstract

Currently, ensuring and continuously promoting equal opportunities between women and men in the field of labor relations is becoming more and more visible, both at the international and at the national level. This fact is confirmed by the multiple initiatives in the field, undertaken by international organizations, by the approval of various national normative acts and strategic documents. Republic of Moldova also has a developed legal framework that ensures equal opportunities for women and men, including in the field of labor relations. Several strategic documents aimed at addressing the issues related to ensuring equal opportunities between women and men in labor relations were approved. However, despite all the efforts undertaken by the public authorities of the Republic of Moldova, it can be observed that the situation on the labor market cannot be characterized as a successful situation in terms of overcoming gender inequalities.
