Description:
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.
