Mexico Gender Assessment (original) (raw)

The report assesses the gender gaps in Mexico across three critical domains: endowments, economic opportunities, and agency. It highlights progress made, such as decreased fertility and maternal mortality rates, improved female labor force participation, and more political representation for women. However, it also identifies ongoing challenges, particularly in rural and indigenous communities, including high teenage pregnancy rates, maternal health issues, and educational disparities. The report emphasizes the economic implications of gender gaps in the labor market and the need for targeted policy actions.
