A comparative study on care economy  |
| Abstract: |
Have new patterns of international trade and trade policies contributed to the promotion of more equitable gender relations in both the private and the public domains? This is the opening question of the research project Trade, Gender and Equity in Latin America: generating knowledge for political action of the Latin American Chapter of the International Gender and Trade Network, supported by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC). |
The first stage of the research approached gender relations in two major areas: international trade and the labour market on one hand, and the care economy, on the other. Research groups from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Uruguay participated in this first stage of the research.
Two comparative studies of the findings were carried out to summarize each country’s reports. The current report introduces information about the configuration of the care economy. The purpose is to identify the persisting challenges for public policy-making
(economic and social) to contribute to gender equity. |
