Our study shows that in the #OECD, the younger you are, the less likely you are to qualify for #paidleave benefits at work—including parental, sick, or family medical leave. Read how length-of-service requirements disproportionally affect younger workers: bit.ly/PaidLeaveYW19

91 countries have taken major steps toward leveling the playing field: they clearly address gender discrimination in hiring, pay, trainings, promotions and demotions, and terminations. #EqualityWithinOurLifetimes bit.ly/EqualityWithin…
