Training Policy Brief
How to better protect women’s health and safety at work in Spain?
Equality between women and men in the workplace is not only an objective of democratic societies but also an indicator of development that must transform political agendas. In Spain, with a labour force participation rate for women of 46%, the figure of accidents at work disaggregated by gender does not show such parity, which is a considerable gap in the labour market. In 2019 these figures were: 404,603 men versus 158,153 women (representing 28%) according to INE (National Statistics Institute) data. It is also argued that most of the accidents that women have are linked to repetitive movements and forced postures that cause or may cause musculoskeletal disorders. This policy brief aims to highlight the main shortcomings of preventive legislation without a gender approach and to offer guidelines for better protection of women's health and safety at work beyond the protection of reproductive health.

Post-crisis social dialogue in Spain: The calm after the storm
This study examines the challenges facing tripartite social dialogue in Spain and its potential for revitalization following the timid steps taken by successive governments and the social partners. The authors contrast this situation to the resilience of bipartite social dialogue between trade unions and employer organizations, and the positive contribution it made to coordinating collective bargaining through this difficult economic and political period. The report highlights a number of good practices in seeking to re-launch tripartite social dialogue, including a 2014 Declaration of Intent signed by trade unions, employers’ organizations and the government, and a pact on employment activation policies for the long-term unemployed. These achievements are promising, although additional efforts are needed to fully revitalize social dialogue and contribute to a stronger economic and labour market recovery. The paper considers also the role of social dialogue in key policy issues such as labour market and pension reforms, and the formulation and implementation of National Reform Programmes in the context of the European Semester.
