Are there gender inequalities in Education and Employment in the Caribbean?
True or False: Are there gender inequalities in Education in the Caribbean? The infographic titled "Education Inequalities" explores gender disparities in education and employment across the Caribbean. It highlights notable progress in educational access, with both genders benefiting, especially in primary and secondary education. However, the data reveals that girls generally outperform boys academically, particularly in fields like biology, physics, and IT. On the other hand, boys excel in subjects such as mathematics and economics. A significant concern is the drastic drop in male participation at the tertiary education level, with women enrolling at almost twice the rate of men. This discrepancy raises critical questions about persistent gender gaps in employment and wages, despite women's higher educational achievements. The infographic emphasizes the importance of gender equality in achieving sustainable development goals and full human potential in the Caribbean.

Infografía. Brechas de gasto público en salud y educación en El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras y México
En esta infografía se examina en qué forma los avances en educación y salud son el resultado tanto de determinantes estructurales, que incluyen las capacidades del Estado, el gasto público y la estratificación social, como de determinantes intermedios, que engloban a individuos, familias, comunidades y sistemas de atención. A partir de ese marco conceptual se identifican las brechas que corresponden a desigualdades, ya sea entre países (horizontales) o entre grupos sociales o áreas en cada país (verticales), con base en los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) en El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras y México.

Educación en América Latina y el Caribe
Para la CEPAL es urgente transformar la educación en América Latina y el Caribe. Lograrlo implica una acción decidida hacia la superación de las desigualdades lo que, entre otras cosas, incluye facilitar las transiciones entre la educación y el trabajo, educar con calidad desde la primera infancia, universalizar el acceso a la educación secundaria y abordar las desigualdades de género. Desde una óptica de articulación entre diversos sectores de política pública es que se plantea que la educación no se resuelve sólo en la educación y que debe asegurarse el financiamiento educativo, construir una cultura de innovación que considere a todos los actores de la comunidad educativa en tanto agentes de cambio, desarrollar competencias cognitivas y socioemocionales y fortalecer la educación digital.
