Sonia Montaño, Director of the Gender and Development Unit - United Nations, said the women's work not only improves household income but also contributes to poverty reduction at national level.
Bolivian sociologist, who was in Lima to attend the international event "Rural Women. Change and persistence "by various civil society organizations highlighted the paradox that exists between development social and political, where the leading role of women has been the breakdown of ancient thought that the box only to domestic work, and indicators that reveal the dire condition of rural women compared to men.
According to ECLAC studies, the female labor force has been a reduction of at least 10 points in poverty rates in Latin America. Chile, Costa Rica and Uruguay are the countries with the lowest percentage of rural and poverty, because they've included in a public policy that protects women and values \u200b\u200btheir unpaid work.
For Montano, it is necessary to end "the politics of an absent state" does not contribute to the development of a country and instead adopt an integrated system of employment generation that does not discriminate against gender, or underestimate the capacity of the women.
Peru, like other countries in the region, has been recovering in the levels of poverty and destitution. And a key factor was the role of women. In this regard, ECLAC highlights the importance that governments adopt a generational economy approach in order to provide them with a comprehensive and long term. These findings are in the report of the Social Panorama of Latin America, presented recently by the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean, ECLAC.
