Genero Femenino

Often people use the word "gender" as a synonym for "sex". However, sex refers to biological characteristics inherent to a woman or a man; also it has been used incorrectly as a synonym for "woman" or "female". In development projects geared towards the needs of women, for example, it is possible that erroneously refers to gender needs, perhaps gender refers to the "socio-cultural construction of roles and relationships between men and women", when we need the word socio cultural construction we refer to the "gender analysis that considers social structures, such as such as race, ethnicity and caste.

In most societies, the activities that go aboard when men and women differ in terms of access and control of resources and participation in the taking of decisions. Differences socially constructed between men and women change over time and represent a variety within and between cultures. Gender is a socio-economic variable which roles are analyzed, responsibilities, constraints and opportunities for the people.

The approach of genre or equality between women and men is the capacity of women and men enjoy equal goods valued socially, opportunities, resources, and rewards.

The restricted access of women to productive resources causes a negative impact on the productivity of women's work. In the past 20 years the participation of women in economic activities has increased in most regions of the world, but they still continue to be lower-level jobs and earning lower wages and taking more scarce opportunities for promotion.

Women facing multiple disadvantages in the labor market and in addition to address to the gender biases; women still have to reconcile their role as housewife with her role as productive economic agent. This regularly affects their professional life, organization and length of the workweek and wage levels. Gender discrimination against the fundamental principles such as labor, human rights and social justice tend to weaken economic growth and the optimal functioning of enterprises and markets.
