World Day for Decent Work 2011 in Trivandrum

The “Decisions for Life” project is an ongoing research initiative in 14 countries. The project’s objective is to raise awareness amongst female workers in the services sector (age group of 18-35) regarding employment opportunities, career possibilities, family building and work-life balance.

In India, the Decisions for Life project is a joint initiative of the Paycheck Project of the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad and UNITES Professionals, and is sponsored by ITUC Belgium.

The project is also supported by the WageIndicator foundation, University of Amsterdam and UNI Global Union (http://dfl.wageindicator.org/) and aims to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDG3) – “Promote Gender Equality and Empower Women”.
