Gender Papers: Multimensional poverty and Gender Equality
April 19, 2018
UNDP, through its Regional Report, calls for rethinking the Latin American model of progress from a multidimensional perspective, in line with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and that transcends the use of per capita income, the rate of economic growth and the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as privileged criteria to measure the level of development. Focusing on the multiple dimensions that affect women's poverty is central to understanding the magnitude of the problem and the search for solutions.
Therefore, within the context of the Human Development Report for Latin America and the Caribbean, it was decided to deepen the dimensions that constitute the hidden deprivations of women and their impacts on the reproduction of the cycles of poverty.
The five notebooks aspire to be an input for the construction of public policies relevant to the particularities of each country, locality and community. And they constitute a necessary complement to the analyzes on human development, equality and multidimensional progress. It makes it possible to visualize the economy in all its aspects and take into account the realities of women in order to focus on the hidden dimensions of well-being. Only then will it be possible to leave no one behind as indicated in the 2030 Agenda.
