The equality that has yet to arrive

Drawing on data from international organizations and the Mexican context, the author argues that workplace equality is not only a regulatory challenge but also a cultural and structural one. She notes that factors such as the unequal distribution of caregiving responsibilities, the limited participation of women in the labor market, and the persistence of gender stereotypes continue to restrict the professional development of many women.

The column also highlights the need to build a comprehensive care system, promote shared responsibility between men and women in child-rearing, and strengthen corporate policies that help retain female talent. In this regard, the author concludes that equality will not arrive automatically: it requires institutional leadership, investment in social infrastructure, and sustained cultural transformation.
