Investment Rating - The report does not explicitly provide an investment rating for the industry. Core Insights - The report highlights the participation of women in international trade and the effects of trade and trade policies on women in seven Latin American countries: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, and Peru. It examines women's roles in international trade as workers, consumers, and business leaders, proposing recommendations to ensure women benefit from international trade and contribute to regional prosperity [16][19]. Summary by Sections 1. Employment of Women - Women hold fewer jobs directly and indirectly related to trade compared to men, with a 40% lower likelihood of occupying export-related jobs. This disparity is largely due to occupational segregation, with women more prevalent in sectors less involved in international trade, such as health and education [32][60]. - The report indicates that women are less likely to occupy higher-paying, more productive jobs associated with international trade, and this trend has remained stable over time [60][61]. 2. Women Business Leaders in International Trade - Only 10% of women-led businesses engage in international trade compared to 14% of men-led businesses. Women entrepreneurs face challenges such as access to financing and market knowledge, which hinder their participation in international trade [33][34]. - Women-led businesses are more likely to operate in the informal economy, which limits their export potential compared to male-led businesses [36]. 3. Women as Consumers - Lower tariffs benefit low-income households more significantly, with poorer households losing twice as much purchasing power due to price increases from tariffs compared to wealthier households. Spending habits differ slightly between male and female-headed households, but income remains the primary influence [39]. 4. Trade in Services - Women predominantly work and lead businesses in the services sector. Barriers to service trade can increase costs and reduce competitiveness for all businesses, regardless of leadership gender [37]. 5. Trade Facilitation - Women-led businesses are generally smaller and face greater challenges due to cumbersome administrative procedures at borders. However, the report notes improvements in trade facilitation in the studied countries over the past decade, with efficiency gains in customs procedures ranging from 3% to 20% since the implementation of the WTO Trade Facilitation Agreement in 2017 [38]. 6. Trade Agreements and Gender - Latin American countries have been pioneers in including gender equality provisions in trade agreements, with 40 out of 87 agreements signed by the studied countries explicitly addressing gender issues. All countries involved have committed to the Global Arrangement on Trade and Gender, aiming to promote women's access to trade opportunities [40][41]. 7. Recommendations for Action - The report suggests integrating gender considerations into trade agreements, supporting gender-sensitive policy development, and enhancing data collection disaggregated by gender to better support women's economic empowerment through international trade [41][42].
