Distribution of working hours in Mexico in 2019, by gender and type of work
In 2019, men in Mexico spent nearly 69 of their working time in remunerated work and only 28 percent on non-remunerated work for the household. By contrast, over two-thirds of the working hours of their female counterparts were dedicated to non-remunerated work, and only 31 percent to remunerated one. Such disparity supposes a major obstacle for female economic autonomy.
