Gender Gaps: Female Work in Cultural and Creative Sectors

Although the artistic, cultural and creative sector has played an active role in making gender gaps visible, the availability of data and analysis on how they materialize specifically in the Latin American labor market is still limited. This publication seeks to contribute to solving this need, focusing on the proposal of a framework that allow us to investigate the conditions of female work specifically in six Latin American countries and prioritized sectors: performing arts, visual arts, audiovisual, music and video games in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Uruguay. The research process involved the systematization and analysis of secondary sources, as well as the collection of qualitative information, which included interviews with women leaders and researchers in the region.
