In this note, the authors explain that
although Chile has made considerable progress in its efforts
to reduce poverty, sustain growth, and promote
democratization during the last decade, these advances,
unusually, have been coupled with notable achievements in
gender equality. Through the analysis conducted in the
Country Gender Assessment for Chile, there has been greater
clarity about why Chile has faced these contradictions. The
paper concludes that with the presidency of Michelle
Bachelet, the first woman president in Chile, conditions are
ripe to expand upon the steady progress made thus far to
narrow the gender gap. Women's participation in the
labor force, and the consequent greater potential for
economic development and poverty alleviation, has not been
fully exploited. Much progress continues to be made to
expand women's contributions to their country and
economy, as well as their families. |
