Abstract
In almost all countries, women are less likely to be employed than men, and typically earn less than men. Over the past decades, gender gaps in employment have narrowed in many regions of the world, including Latin America. This development has generally coincided with a process of globalization and increased international trade. There are many studies on the effects of trade liberalization on employment, wages, and inequality between low-skilled and high-skilled workers. However, until recently, there has been little research on the impact of trade liberalization on gender inequality in the labor market.
