AU - Yáñez-Pagans, Patricia AU - Zúñiga Brenes, Paola TI - Expanding Opportunities: Policies for Gender Equality and Inclusion PY - 2024 Y1 - 2024/11/25 DO - 10.18235/0013261 AB - This book examines the progress and persistent challenges in achieving gender equality and inclusion in Latin America and the Caribbean. Despite significant advances in women's education, health, and labor force participation, substantial gaps remain in areas such as economic opportunity and leadership representation, and gender-based violence remains high. The region has also witnessed a greater, though incomplete, acceptance of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities. The book proposes a comprehensive policy framework structured around three pillars: foundational policies, policies that enable economic opportunity, and institutional reforms. It argues that addressing persistent challenges requires evidence-based policies that expand opportunities to unlock the regions full talent potential and drive progress toward a more equitable and inclusive society.
