Full-scale war highlights disparity and segregation in labor market – Milena Goryachkovska

The fact that today women are more likely to go into the fields of work that were traditionally considered male, is essentially the elimination of a disparity that has existed for a long time. At the same time, it is an opportunity to balance the labor market.

Milena Goryachkovska, Project Coordinator at the Ukrainian Women’s Fund, made this statement during the discussion at Media Center Ukraine – Ukrinform.
