Gender inequality remains rampant across sectors. From the wage gap, which hinders economic development , to our more recent work in the care economy, we’ve found that information on care is fragmented and, in many cases limited and lacking.
The lack of transparency and patchiness of the information available on the gender pay gap and the care economy, and in broader sectors, inhibits understanding of the causes and effects of inequality.
Data is one of the tools that allows us to highlight inequality and gaps in the political, economic, social and cultural sectors.
Publishing and using accessible, comparable and timely data on various dimensions of the gendered inequality would stimulate private and public sector efforts needed to close these gaps.
In partnership with the Government of the City of Buenos Aires, and with the support of IDRC, we are proud to introduce a project—the first of its kind—that designed and implemented a Care Economy Indicators System (SICCABA), in Argentina to improve the quality of care.
Together with the Women’s Secretariat of the city of Mexico, we recently launched the Care Economy Indicators system!
This work would have not been possible without the support from Centro Internacional de Investigaciones para el Desarrollo (IDRC, Canadá) Oficina Regional para América Latina y el Caribe and the amazing work of Codeando Mexico and Civica Digital that showcased how care tasks are distributed through statistical and administrative data.
