In Geneva, the International Labor Organization reports gender equality in the workplace remains elusive. On International Women's Day, a new ILO report, Women at Work: Trends 2016, finds millions of women worldwide are not getting the same kind of quality, well-paying jobs as men. <br/><br/>New data in 178 countries present a gloomy picture of the current state of working women. The report shows the gender gap in employment, wages and social protection has changed little in 20 years. <br/><br/>The report also noted that women are overrepresented in clerical service and sales work, which are among the lowest paying jobs. <br/><br/>The report notes significant progress has been made by women in education during the past two decades, but this has not translated into improvements at work.
