Gender

Gender inequality remains a pressing issue in the LAC region, as women in the region participate in the labour force less than men, earn less than men and are less likely to advance to senior levels of private and public leadership. Additionally, they continue to face high rates of violence. The OECD is a global leader in producing internationally comparative data on gender inequalities, covering a variety of areas from education and employment to work-life balance and entrepreneurship.
