Gender inequality is a global problem. The responsibility of the business sector, as one of the main agents of the global market, is to advocate for the economic empowerment of women by recognizing them as agents of growth and development in their various roles. This speaks directly to the advancement of Goal 5, Gender Equality, of the Sustainable Development Goals.

Chapters explore a number of issues related to gender equality in Latin America and the Caribbean including the status of gender equity following the Covid-19 pandemic, gender equity within organizations, and gender policies and the teaching of gender equity. A unique geographical assessment, Economy, Gender and Academy: A Pending Conversation offers to generate commitment around professional development to contribute to the construction of a more egalitarian society.
