evidence: - In the agricultural sector, women are overrepresented in seasonal, informal, part-time, and low-wage work with limited access to social protection [15]. Globally, 36 percent of working women compared to 38 percent of working men work in agrifood systems as of 2019, but this may exclude self-employed and unpaid family workers. Differences across countries and regions are striking. In sub-Saharan Africa, 66 per cent of women’s employment is in agrifood systems, compared with 60 per cent of men’s employment while in southern Asia, 71 per cent of women workers are engaged in agrifood systems, compared with 47 per cent of men workers [16]. [...] - Climate change could push up to 158.3 million more women and girls into poverty by 2050 (16 million more than the total number of men and boys) under a worst-case climate scenario. Food insecurity is projected to affect as many as 236 million more women and girls than today, compared to 131 million more men and boys [34].
