Gender integration in Chile


Hello everyone, today I will talk about gender and the public policies about this; about the inequality between woman and men, and the intencion of integration in the last years.

Our society, I think, show a clear intention to be a modern type of country, but whith emphasis in the economic field. For example, for combat the inequality, the public policies in the last years have been developed salary increases and more jobs for the woman. But this is insufficient. A effective public policy for this is, for example, the work permit for the men for the birth of babys (approved in July of 2005).

This public policy seeks to the equality in the family aspect, but also is a concrete intencion for remove the stigma of a natural process of the life, that this is not a problem for the work, and of exlusive responsability of the woman.

This is a good example, but the education is essencial for a real integration of gender in our society. Woman and men should be educated for understand a integral development in their lifes, in where the job, society and the family will not incompatible aspects.

I think that this is the reason for the discrimination, of many types, and a public policy of the education will be excelent beginning.

What do you think?
