This comprehensive book delves into a thorough analysis of the significant challenges women face in the labor market in the twenty-first century. It identifies the various factors that hinder their participation, conducts a comprehensive study of occupational segregation by gender, explores labor transitions, raises questions about whether men and women experience different outcomes, and examines the impact of entrepreneurship support programs on their economic and social positions. Furthermore, the book explores the public policy implications of women's entry into the labor market, comparing the experiences of working women in Mexico with those in countries such as Spain and developing countries within Eastern Europe.

The book covers a wide range of topics, approached from a gender perspective, including labor participation, the feminization of poverty, migration, wage gaps, changes in employment, informal work programs, and public policy. Additionally, it provides a topical and timely analysis of the COVID-19 pandemic, tracking the gender inequalities among men and women in labor markets.

The primary target audience for this book is the global community of academics, researchers, and graduate students specializing in economics, with a particular focus on the study of the labor market from a gender perspective. It will also be valuable to government institutions responsible for designing public programs and policies, as well as non-governmental and non-profit organizations.

By examining these critical issues, this book offers valuable insights into the complex dynamics of women's labor market participation and provides valuable recommendations for promoting gender equality and social mobility.
