 Mexico is currently the 13th largest economy in the world, but it only ranks 58th in the Global Competitiveness Index. Women make up one half of the human capital available to any economy, and over time a narrower gender gap has been shown to positively correlate with competitiveness. Mexico ranks 89th in the Global Gender Gap Index, so closing this gap may help Mexico improve its competitiveness. There are four areas that relate to this gender gap – health, education, economy and politics. Regarding education, 99% of the gender gap has already been closed, however only 53% of the economic gender gap has been closed. So while investments have been made in developing Mexico's human capital, we are not reaping the full returns from that investment. While the gap in labour force participation has narrowed slightly over time, it is still very large, and despite women having almost as much university level education as men, it appears those women are not getting recruited into highly skilled and leadership positions. Also, in comparatively similar roles, women are still earning little more than half of what men own. So what would it take to close the economic gender gap in Mexico by 10% in the next three years?
