A study launched in Paris this week by the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM), with the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) examines women's labour market situation in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and the Western Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) in the context of the social and economic transformations in the region in the past 15 years. Using statistical data from the UNECE Gender Statistics Database, 'The Story Behind the Numbers: Women and Employment in Central and Eastern Europe and the Western Commonwealth of Independent States' analyses trends in women's and men's labour force participation during the transition to a market oriented economy in 18 countries in Eastern Europe and assesses their implications for the economic security of both women and men.
