Gender Dimensions of the Global Economic and Financial Crisis in Central America and the Dominican Republic

This contribution analyzes the gender impact of the 2008 global economic crisis in Central America and the Dominican Republic, with special emphasis on work and employment. It also assesses the policies adopted by the region's governments to promote economic recovery from a gender-equity perspective. The study explores the relationship between the situation of women and economic crises in specific economic and social contexts. A principal finding of the study highlights that policies implemented to combat the crisis have not been able to reduce gender inequality. The evolution of principal indicators and the lack of attention to gender equality in anti-crisis policies suggest that these inequalities could worsen as a result of the crisis. Continued research and monitoring of indicators, including changes in practices and customs, will contribute to more robust conclusions
