Questions 66 – 75 (2.0 points - 0.2/ each) Read the passage below and choose the best answer to each question Promoting decent work and income for women and men in conditions of freedom, equity, security and human dignity, is one of the key priorities of the ILO’s Decent Work Agenda. Integrating gender concerns into employment promotion and creation contributes to more effective boosting of productivity and economic growth; human resources development; sustainable development; and reduce poverty. Worldwide progress has been made over the last few decades in increasing women’s labour force participation and narrowing gender income gaps, but more efforts are needed to make gender equality in the world of work a reality. In Vietnam, just like in the developing world in general, women continue to form a large majority of the working poor, earn less income, and are more often affected by under and unemployment and precarious working conditions than men. Women in Vietnam are principally found in lower paid occupational sectors or in vulnerable employment. The majority of women work as unpaid family workers, and in largely "invisible" areas of informal employment as migrant domestic workers, homeworkers, street vendors and in the entertainment industry. Women's position in the labour market is largely affected by socio-economic disadvantages caused by gender-based discrimination. Vietnamese women often have less access to productive resources, education, and skills development and labour market opportunities than men. In great part, this is because society assigns both a lower status and most of the unpaid care work to Vietnamese women, and expects them to engage in productive work in subsistence agriculture and the market economy. The ILO and Vietnamese constituents have long cooperated on promoting gender equality among male and female workers in the country. Current joint efforts are geared at increasing women’s opportunities to enterprise development; preventing labour exploitation of (migrant) children and women; and strengthening the equality dimension in labour legislation such as prohibiting direct and indirect discrimination, and promoting equal pay for work of equal value, action against sexual harassment and equalizing the retirement ages for women and men. 66. It can be inferred from the passage that ILO stands for______. A. International Law Office B. International Labor Organization C. Intended Learning Outcomes D. Integrated Learning Online 67. Which of the following is not mentioned in paragraph 1 as a result of integrating gender into employment promotion and creation? A. poverty reduction B. human resources development C. sustainable development D. better employment opportunities. 68. It can be inferred from paragraph 1 that______. A. women's labour force participation has increased ---------------------------------------------------------- Page 5 of 8
6. B. gender income gaps have been narrowed C. gender equality in the world of work has not been realized D. promoting income for women is considered one of the key priorities 69.

The word "principally" is closest in meaning to ______ A. generally B. particularly C. only D. occasionally 71. The author probably uses the phrase 'unpaid family workers' in paragraph 2 to refer to ______. A. housewivesB. women in the family C. the daughter of the family D. the mother in the family 72. The author probably uses the word "invisible" in the phrase in largely "invisible" areas of informal employmentto refer to the fact that______. A. many jobs done by Vietnamese women have not been officially recognized B. the jobs done by Vietnamese women are mostly of the illegal job market C. none of the jobs done by Vietnamese women are of high security and promotion D. most of the jobs done by Vietnamese women are underpaid or not paid at all 73.
