Summary/Abstract: Eliminating gender discrimination and achieving gender equality in employment and at work, is one of the fundamental values of Labour law of the European Union and the Republic of Serbia. Promotion of gender equality involves a complex normative activity, which includes the provision of equal opportunities and treatment regardless of gender in terms of employment and work engagement, transferring and promotion in the workplace, as well as the achievement of the right to equal pay for the same or work of equal value. Eliminating or reduction of uneven gender representation is also realized through the equal availability of jobs and positions, proportionate participation in collective bargaining, the prohibition of discrimination based on sex, in the achievement and use of rights in the field of social and health protection. The accomplishment of real gender equality is also achieved by adoption and realization of affirmative measures, to encourage employment and self-employment of a less represented gender.
