La pandemia de coronavirus se ha extendido por todo el mundo y América Latina no ha estado exenta de sus impactos sanitarios, económicos y sociales. El cierre de la economía, como resultado de una combinación de medidas estrictas (autocuarentenas, cierres obligatorios, capacidad limitada en tiendas, fábricas y oficinas, cierres de fronteras, etc.), está teniendo un profundo impacto económico y social. En el mercado laboral, ha conmocionado tanto a la oferta como a la demanda. Dentro de los hogares, ha tenido como resultado un aumento de la carga de trabajo no remunerado, lo que supone una carga desproporcionada para las mujeres y reduce aún más el tiempo que pueden dedicar a actividades productivas. Los impactos y la profundidad de la crisis se sienten de manera diferente ya que pueden ampliar las brechas de género existentes. En este artículo, los autores exploran los impactos de la crisis en el empleo en dieciséis países de la región. Además, analizan los impactos de género a través de cuatro lentes: los jóvenes, las personas en situación de pobreza, las personas que viven en zonas rurales y los jefes de familia. Los investigadores presentan un conjunto de opciones de políticas destinadas a integrar el enfoque de género en todo el mundo pandémico. Haciendo hincapié en la necesidad de soluciones transversales, los autores proponen políticas en tres áreas principales: el hogar, el trabajo y los espacios entre el trabajo y el hogar. Esto permitirá que las políticas de recuperación socioeconómica no solo atenúen los impactos a corto plazo, sino que también fomenten la igualdad de oportunidades para mujeres y hombres en el mediano y largo plazo.... view less

The coronavirus pandemic has spread throughout the world and Latin America has not been exempt from its health, economic and social impacts. The economic shutdown, as a result of a combination of stringent measures (self-quarantines, mandatory lockdowns, limited capacity in shops, factories and offices, border closures, etc.), is having a profound economic and social impact. In the labor market it has shocked both supply and demand. Within households, it has resulted in an increase in the unpaid workload, burdening women disproportionately, further reducing the time they can allocate to productive activities. The crisis's impacts and depth are felt differently by they can widen existing gender gaps. In this paper, the authors explore the impacts of the crisis on employment in sixteen countries in the region. In addition, they analize gender impacts through four lenses: young people, people living in poverty, people living in rural areas and heads of the family. Researchers present a set of policy option aimed at integrating the gender approach into the entire pandemic world. Emphasizing the need for cross-sectional solutions, the authors propose policies in three main areas: the home, work and the spaces between work and home. This will enable socio-economic recovery policies to not only soften short-term impacts, but also further equal opportunities for women and men in the medium and long terms.... view less
