PRINCIPLE OF GENDER EQUALITY IN SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC ASPECTS AT LOCAL LEVEL: DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN EXPERIENCE
Journal Title: «Приватне та публічне право» - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue
Abstract
The article deals with problems of ensuring the principle of gender equality in the social and economic spheres at the level of local self-government in Ukraine and foreign countries. It is emphasised that ensuring the positive dynamics of political, socio-economic, cultural transformations at the local level requires the solution of the theoretical and legal issues of guaranteeing and creating opportunities for equal realization of the rights and freedoms of women and men in the field of local self-government. It is highlighted that observance of the principle of gender equality at the local level, in the social and economic spheres in particular, has a direct impact on the process of formation of Ukraine as a whole and, accordingly, on its international image. It is noted that today in Ukraine, both at the national level and at the level of local authorities, there are almost no highly skilled workers capable of properly securing the rights of women and men, taking into account gender characteristics. The obtaining of relevant knowledge by specialists requires the systematic carrying out of special courses, trainings, etc. in order to master the relevant tools and mechanisms in this area. It is stressed that today in Ukraine there are a number of problems in the social-economic sphere at the local level, which is also related to gender discrimination, in particular: the unemployment rate among women and men; complex demographic situation; the need to travel abroad in order to find a high-paying job, which as a result has a negative impact on the labor market in Ukraine, etc. The problem of unemployment is very acute in the countryside and the labor migration of women in the village has become objective reality. A significant number of women travel abroad in search of employment in legal and illegal ways. Today, among 226 countries in the world Ukraine is 186th in terms of birth rate. Lack of material and financial opportunities to provide the child with at least the minimum welfare provokes to leave their country. Individual European states stimulate the influx of migrant workers, including from Ukraine. This state of affairs contributes to the growth of the economy of a foreign state and greatly worsens the domestic social, economic and demographic situation. An analysis of foreign practice has provided grounds for asserting that nowadays for our country it is important to introduce an official responsible for the implementation of gender policy in the field into the structure of territorial communities (united territorial communities). It is revealed that the integration of women of national minorities is an important direction of the municipal gender policy of European countries. In Ukraine one of the least integrated national minorities in society, which causes a cautious attitude towards them, is Roma. In addition, for Ukraine the issue of the integration of internally displaced women in territorial communities remains relevant, including the possibility of involving migrants in local elections that they do not currently have because of the lack of mechanisms for the participation of internally displaced persons in the formation of representative power in the field.
