9月25日亚太经合组织2021年妇女与经济论坛优先考虑赋予妇女经济权力。妇女部长扬·蒂内蒂今天主持了亚太经合组织2021年妇女与经济论坛,该论坛正在努力解决整个区域妇女和女童从COVID-19大流行病中恢复过来的未决问题。来自21个经济体的部长和代表聚集一堂,讨论亚太经合组织区域的性别平等和增强妇女经济权能的问题。

妇女部长说:”由于COVID-19继续对世界各地的妇女和女童产生不成比例的影响,我们必须借此机会讨论我们为妇女和女童实现的集体目标,以利于我们整个区域的经济”。

参加论坛的部长们发表了一项声明,重点介绍执行《拉塞雷纳路线图》(亚太经合组织2019年商定的妇女经济赋权行动计划)、从COVID-19大流行病中恢复的性别反应政策,并确保妇女和女童可持续和有复原力的恢复。

妇女部长说:”我们确定的一些关键问题包括妇女在贸易中的代表权、解决性别薪酬差距和职业隔离的变革、妇女和女孩从事的护理工作比例过高、平等获得数字技能培训、金融知识以及各种形式的基于性别的暴力。 新西兰长期以来一直站在争取两性平等的最前沿,我们致力于进一步改善新西兰妇女和女童的生活。我们的重点包括制定《妇女就业行动计划》,以支持妇女在大流行后更好地恢复元气,妇女成为领导职务,缩小男女工资差距,免受家庭和性暴力的侵害,以及改善毛利人的工作成果。亚太经合组织妇女与经济论坛使我们能够分享新西兰为增强妇女经济权能所做的努力,作为COVID-19复苏计划的一部分,并向其他经济体学习其计划。

作为本次论坛的主席,我要感谢所有与会经济体承诺确保妇女经济赋权是从大流行病中复苏的一部分″。 亚太经合组织拥有29亿人口,占世界国内生产总值的60%,占世界贸易的48%(根据2018年的数据)。新西兰2021年亚太经合组织的三项政策优先事项是由COVID-19危机决定的,重点是将该地区团结在一起,促进包容性、可持续性和弹性的复苏。。 加强经济复苏的经贸政策,这一优先事项侧重于亚太经合组织对COVID-19的经济反应。其目的是鼓励支持开放和连通性的贸易和经济政策,减少边境摩擦,减少壁垒,使企业在整个亚太经合组织区域更容易进行贸易和经商。提高复苏的包容性和可持续性,这一优先事项承认了亚太经合组织对COVID-19的长期反应必须是可持续的,并包容所有人。这是关于加强妇女和土著人民等群体对经济的参与,并确保重视他们的贡献。它还将确保该区域的复苏可用于改善可持续性成果,包括在气候变化领域。 追求创新,实现数字化恢复,重点是亚太经合组织利用数字领域的创新,改进业务运营方式,使其更有效率和适应性。它旨在鼓励亚太经合组织成员接受开放和竞争激烈的新技术市场。亚太经合组织境内有5000多万例COVID-19病例,死亡100多万人。自2020年11月以来,该地区每天登记的新病例超过10万例,在此期间,超过2200万人被推入极端贫困。2020年,亚太经合组织的GDP萎缩了1.9%,为二战以来的最大降幅。在经济增长正在复苏的同时,由于这一流行病,大约8100万个工作岗位已经丧失。新西兰的主办年从2020年12月持续到2021年11月。

APEC 2021 Women and the Economy Forum prioritises women’s economic empowerment
Minister for Women Jan Tinetti today chaired the virtual APEC 2021 Women and the Economy Forum, which is working to address outstanding issues for women and girls across the region as it recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic.
The forum brought together Ministers and representatives from 21 economies to discuss gender equality and women’s economic empowerment across the APEC region.
“As COVID-19 continues to have a disproportionate impact on women and girls around the world, we must take the opportunity to discuss our collective goals for women and girls in the interests of our economies across the region,” Jan Tinetti said.
Ministers participating at the forum issued a statement which prioritises the implementation of the La Serena Roadmap (APEC’s action plan on women’s economic empowerment agreed in 2019), gender responsive policies for recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and ensuring a sustainable and resilient recovery for women and girls.
“Some key issues we’ve identified include women’s representation in trade, changes to address gender pay gaps and occupational segregation, the disproportionate share of care work undertaken by women and girls, equal access to digital skill training and financial literacy and gender-based violence in all its forms,” Jan Tinetti said.
“New Zealand has long been at the forefront of fighting for gender equality and we are committed to further improving the lives of women and girls in Aotearoa New Zealand. Our focus includes developing a Women’s Employment Action Plan to support women to build back better after the pandemic, women in leadership, closing the gender pay gap, safety from family and sexual violence and improving outcomes for wāhine Maori.  
“The APEC Women and the Economy Forum allows us to share what New Zealand is doing for women’s economic empowerment as part our COVID-19 recovery plan, and learn from other economies about their plans.
“As Chair of this forum, I’d like to thank all of the economies represented for their commitment to ensuring women’s economic empowerment is part of the recovery from the pandemic,” JanTinetti said.
APEC is home to 2.9 billion people, represents 60 per cent of world GDP and 48 per cent of world trade (according to 2018 figures).
New Zealand’s three policy priorities for APEC 2021 are shaped by the COVID-19 crisis and focused on bringing the region together to promote an inclusive, sustainable and resilient recovery.
    Economic and trade policies to strengthen recovery
This priority focuses on APEC’s economic response to COVID-19. It aims to encourage trade and economic policies that support openness and connectivity, and reduce friction at the border in order to to reduce barriers and make it easier for companies to trade and do business throughout the APEC region.
  Increasing inclusion and sustainability for recovery
This priority acknowledges the need for APEC’s long-term response to COVID-19 to be sustainable and inclusive of all people. It is about enhancing the participation of groups such as women and indigenous people in the economy, and ensuring their contributions are valued. It will also ensure the region’s recovery can be used to improve sustainability outcomes, including in the area of climate change.
    Pursuing innovation, and a digitally enabled recovery
The priority focuses on APEC taking advantage of innovation in the digital space to improve the way business is done and make it more efficient and adaptable. It aims to encourage APEC members to embrace open and competitive markets for new technologies.
  There have been over 50 million cases of COVID-19 within APEC’s borders, with over one million deaths. The region has registered more than 100,000 new cases every day since November 2020 and, during this time, more than 22 million people have been pushed into extreme poverty.
APEC-wide GDP contracted by 1.9 percent in 2020, the biggest fall since World War Two. While economic growth is recovering, around 81 million jobs have been lost due to the pandemic.
New Zealand’s host year runs from December 2020 until November 2021.
