Gender Equality in Colombia
Towards a Better Sharing of Paid and Unpaid Work
The OECD review of Gender Equality in Colombia: Towards a Better Sharing of Paid and
Unpaid Work is the third in a collection of reports focusing on Latin American and
the Caribbean countries, and part of the series Gender Equality at Work. The report
compares gender gaps in labour and educational outcomes in Colombia with other countries.
Particular attention is put on the uneven distribution of unpaid work, and the extra
burden this places on women. It investigates how policies and programmes in Colombia
can make this distribution more equitable. The first part of the report reviews the
evidence on gender gaps and on what causes these, including the role played by attitudes.
The second part develops a comprehensive framework to address these challenges, presenting
a broad range of options to reduce the unpaid work burden falling on women, and to
increase women’s labour income. Earlier reviews in the same collection have looked
at gender equality policies in Chile (2021) and Peru (2022).
