Description

This volume critically examines gender inequality, its origins, and its social and economic implications in Latin America, with a particular focus on Ecuador.

For that purpose, Pablo Quiñonez and Claudia Maldonado-Erazo bring together a collection of articles that provide insights from different disciplines, including political economy, history, development studies, political science, microeconomics, and macroeconomics. In Ecuador, as in Latin America as a whole, women dedicate more time than men to unpaid activities while being discriminated against in multiple areas, including labor markets, politics, and access to high-ranking positions.

These problems are even more acutely experienced by women from rural areas and ethnic minorities.

This essential inquiry aims to better understand how and why.
