This book offers an analysis of the key issues faced by women in the labor market in the 21st century. It identifies the factors that inhibit women's participation in the labor market, studies occupational segregation by gender and analyzes labor transitions, questioning whether the experience for men and women differs. It also explores the effect of entrepreneurship support programs on women's economic and social positions, as well as the public policy implications of women's entry into the labor market. The book investigates working women in Mexico and also offers comparisons with countries such as Spain and developing countries within Eastern Europe. It explores a variety of topics, from a gender perspective, such as labor participation, the feminization of poverty, migration, wage gaps, changes in employment, informal work programs and public policy. Finally, the book offers a topical and timely analysis of the COVID-19 pandemic, tracking the gender inequalities among men and women in labor markets. The main market for the book is the global community of academics, researchers and graduate students in the fields of economics and, specifically, in the study of the labor market from a gender perspective. It will also be beneficial to government institutions responsible for the creation of public programs and policies, as well as non-governmental and non-profit organizations.

La penetración de las tecnologías de la información en los diversos ámbitos de la vida cotidiana está produciendo profundos cambios en todos los sectores; en algunos, particularmente en la televisión digital, se están viviendo momentos decisivos que conformarán un nuevo sistema comunicativo social. En este contexto, las televisiones locales serán unos agentes privilegiados para la formación de ese nuevo sistema audiovisual más acorde con las sociedades actuales, pero para conseguirlo es necesario acabar con la situación de incertidumbre normativa en que la actitud errática de la administración les ha obligado a sobrevivir desde que hace ya veinte años aparecieron las primeras televisiones locales en nuestro país. El libro hace un recorrido por la historia de la televisión, analizando el contexto socioeconómico, político y comunicativo en que se implantó y se ha venido desarrollando para caracterizar su momento actual. El texto se complementa con el informe detallado de la situación en que se encuentra el conjunto de las televisiones locales que operan en la provincia de Castellón, como muestra significativa de la crítica posición en que está el sector para afrontar la inminente transición a la TDT (televisión digital terrestre) que se le ha impuesto con tanta urgencia y que va acabar por determinar el equilibrio y la pluralidad de nuestro sistema comunicativo durante los próximos años y, en definitiva, el modelo de desarrollo futuro de nuestra sociedad.

This book presents evidence of the evolution of the gender inequalities in Latin America during the twentieth century, using basic indicators of human development, namely education, health and the labour market. There are very few historical studies that centre on gender as the main analytical category in Latin America, so this book breaks new ground. Using case-studies from Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Uruguay, the authors show that there is evidence of a correlation between economic growth and the decrease in gender inequality, but this process is also not linear. Although the activity rate of women was high at the beginning of the twentieth century, female participation in the labour market diminished, until the 1970s, when it began to increase dramatically. Since the 1970s, fertility reduction and education improvements and worsening labour market conditions are associated to the steadily increase of women participation in the labour market. By gauging the extent to which gender gaps in the formation of human capital, access to resources, quality of life and opportunities may have operated as a restriction on women’s capabilities and on economic growth in the region, this book demonstrates that Latin America has lagged behind in terms of gender equality.
