Latin America’s MDG Progress
on Gender Equality: Poor Women Still Lag Behind – One Pager # 49
We
are pleased to announce the
publication of IPC One Pager #49, “Latin America’s
MDG Progress on Gender Equality: Poor Women Still Lag Behind”.
The author, Eduardo Zepeda, recently
a senior researcher
at IPC, notes that Latin America and the Caribbean
has shown notable progress on MDG indicators for gender equality. But he
emphasizes that when national averages are disaggregated, the picture is less
impressive, particularly for poor women workers. They are not, in fact, making
significant progress in securing
decent wage employment in the non-agricultural sector.
See
the recent related Issue No. 13 of IPC’s Poverty In Focus magazine, “Gender
Equality”.
