OECD Review of Gender Equality in Colombia

image of OECD Review of Gender Equality in Colombia

In recent decades, Colombia has pursued a strategy to encourage gender equality as an important enabler of inclusive growth and national well-being and to promote gender mainstreaming through institutions, policies and tools. This report assesses four main pillars of Colombia’s governance for gender equality, analysing strengths and identifying areas for further improvement. It examines strategic planning for gender equality policy, a whole-of-government approach to promoting gender equality policy, using government tools to achieve gender equality objectives, and an inclusive and gender-sensitive emergency preparedness framework. The report also provides examples of different approaches in OECD Member and Partner countries to closing gender equality gaps. Based on this analysis, the report proposes solutions to help Colombia strengthen gender mainstreaming and gender-sensitive policy making to promote sustainable, inclusive economic growth.

Gender gaps at the regional level and relationship between gender equality and departmental GDP growth in Colombia

As shown in Chapter 2, wide imbalances persist between women and men in Colombia, with significant regional variation. This Annex presents an analysis of existing gender gaps at the regional level in the country. After investigating departmental differences in gender gaps with respect to economic participation, educational achievement, health and survival, and political empowerment, the Annex proposes an econometric model to estimate the relationships between gender equality and economic growth in Colombia. This empirical study was developed by experts of the Colombian Observatory for Women in the framework of the six-year co-operative project between the government of Colombia and the OECD and included in the Report at the request of the Presidential Council for Women’s Equality.
