MDG (Millennium Development Goals) goals number 3, calls on nations to promote gender equality and empower women, but progress to achieve the goal has been uneven. The economic, social, political, legal and cultural structures that perpetuate gender inequality are still in place throughout the world while globalization has exacerbated the situation. Although it brings economic growth, new living standards and opportunities; but the benefits are distributed unequally. Unemployment, underemployments, social exclusion of vulnerable groups, ‘informalization’ of economies and changing world of works demand new application of new solution.
