Las brechas laborales entre mujeres y hombres en Colombia: Análisis del 2017 al 2022

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to mention the existing gaps between men and women in the Colombian labor market and how a transformation can be achieved so that there is gender equality. Following this, the development of this document is based on the construction of instruments that compile the most present gaps during the last five years, with which an analysis of the content was carried out using the documentary review technique, which allowed identifying the most frequent inequalities, among which stand out, the wage gap, occupational gap, the glass ceiling, market integration, educational levels, among others, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. In this sense, the conclusions focus on the continuity that this discriminatory situation has had for women, who have participated in different struggles to achieve some progress in terms of reducing said gap. The construction of the Labor Equity Program of the Ministry of Labor is highlighted, insofar as it is considered that it has been the engine that has generated greater opportunities for women and, in turn, because it becomes a participation scenario for Social Work within the framework of public and business policies in relation to the labor gaps between men and women that exist in Colombia in order to generate social change.
