TL;DR
- Women in Colombia perform nearly twice as much unpaid domestic and care work as men, a disparity that persists across generations.
- Female labor market participation has increased significantly, especially among highly educated women, while fertility rates have decreased.
- Even when women contribute more than half of the household income, their burden of unpaid work often does not decrease and can even increase.
- Social norms, particularly the concept of women compensating for higher incomes by taking on more domestic tasks, play a significant role in maintaining this inequality.
- The COVID-19 pandemic forced many women to reduce paid work or leave the labor force to handle increased caregiving responsibilities due to school closures, reversing some previous progress.
