Note for Equality Nº 28: Women in the future of work

The segmentation of Latin American labour markets - a consequence of the high degree of structural heterogeneity and the persistent sexual division of labour - limits women’s employment and concentrates them in certain sectors and occupations of the economy. The accelerated changes product of the adoption of digital technologies pose new scenarios for the world of work. In addition, the ongoing process of population aging presents challenges and opportunities for women’s autonomy and for the achievement of a more equal participation in the labour market.
