Abstract The book portrays the achievements and progress of equality at work between men and women. The relevant UN Conventions and the numerous ILO Conventions and Recommendations are recalled. The European Union has applied and developed the universal ILO standards, empowering rights of equality with effective remedies through equal treatment in all conditions of work, positive or affirmative action, dignity of the worker, maternity protection, part-time work and indirect discrimination, workers with family responsibilities and child care, with detailed references to judgments of the EU Court of Justice. New perspectives and the ILO Decent Work Agenda are addressed in the conclusion.
