ABSTRACT: This document contains the proceedings of a high
level conference on the Employment of Women, attended by
labor ministers and other high officials of countries
belonging to the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and
Development (OECD). Delegates to the conference adopted a 14
point declaration pledging themselves to achieve equality of
opportunity particularly for the conditions in the
employment of women. During the conference, the
representatives examined (1) the implication of high and
rising participation rates of women workers in the various
countries, despite slack labor markets since the mid-1970's
and (2) the persistence of labor market segregation despite
equal opportunity policies already practiced in most member
countries. This report presents the declaration drawn up by
the conference, the analytical papers for the conference,
and the opening addresses by the secretary-general of the
OECD and the Minister of Labor of Denmark, who served as
president of the conference. A list of participants and
observers is included in the appendix to the document. (KC)
