United Nations information on women work and poverty

Here is the information that our group used from the United Nations Statistics Division while creating our video:

Work:
Women are predominantly and increasingly employed in the services sectors.
Vulnerable employment- own account work and contributing family work- is prevalent in many countries in Africa and Asia, especially among women.
The informal sector is an important source of employment for both women and men in the less developed region but more so for women.
Occupational segregation and gender gaps continue to persist in all regions.
Part-time employment is common for women in most of the more developed regions and some less developed regions, and it is increasing almost everywhere for both women and men.
Women spend at least twice as mcuh time as men on domestic work, and when all work- paid and unpaid- is considered, women work longer hours than men do.

Poverty:
Households of lone mothers with young children are more likely to be poor than households of lone fathers with young children.
Women are overrepresented among the older poor in the more developed regions.
Existing statuatory and customary laws limit women's access to land and other types of property in most countries in Africa and about half the countries in Asia.
