Abstract

Gender inequality is one of the most pressing barriers in the fisheries sector’s labour market. Women workers in Asian fish value chains constitute a large share of the world’s fishworkers. In addition to their productive activities, these women are responsible for reproductive activities/unpaid work within their households and communities. However, they face numerous challenges to participating in and benefiting from the sector. Furthermore, the social and economic issues women face in the fisheries and aquaculture sector tend to receive little or no attention.
