dc.description.abstractThis paper introduces information about the configuration of the (paid and unpaid) care economy. It identifies persisting challenges for public policy-making (economic and social) towards gender equity. Findings show that increased participation of women in the labour market has not contributed to a redistribution of household maintenance chores, or to the care of dependent members. Research groups (from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Uruguay) participated in research regarding new patterns of international trade and trade policies in terms of equitable gender relations in both private and the public domains. Comparative studies of the findings were carried out to summarize each country report.en
