Abstract

A range of studies indicate that gender differences decrease throughout the development process and the status of women improves with modernization. From another point of view it will be argued that the vulnerability of women continues and may even increase despites development. Between these two opposite viewpoints other approaches emphasize the importance of the kind of development in the status of women. Gender inequalitycan be reduced in specificcertainareassuch as educationor healthbutremainat high levels inthe labor market. Itseems to bea characteristicof Latin American development.
The aimof this paper is to build a comprehensive and comparative history of the evolution of the gender gap in basic human development indicators: education, health and participation in the labor market in Latin America. Given the difficulty ofaccessto information,we plan tocover arepresentativesample includingfollowing Latin Americancountries(Chile, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, MexicoandUruguay).
