| description |
Achieving gender equality in Colombia is
critical to the country’s future economic development and
social cohesion; yet it remains an ongoing challenge. The
government of Colombia recognizes the importance of closing
the country’s gender gaps and is working on multiple fronts
to realize this objective. However, and although preliminary
findings indicate that substantial progress has been made
over the last two decades, several challenges remain. Using
the framework provided by the 2012 World Development Report,
this assessment allows identifying the main existing gender
gaps across the areas of agency, endowments and economic
opportunity, and the major driving factors with regards to
households, institutions and markets (chapters one, two,
three, and four). Based on this diagnostic, chapter five
provides some policy recommendations that may help to close
the existing gender gaps. |
