Abstract
Gender economic equality in Latin America-Caribbean is behind Sub-Saharan region, limiting regional competitiveness and social justice. We found a negative regional correlation between women political empowerment and economic participation, being this associated to economic growth, democracy index and wage equality. We recommend authorities to focus on women economic participation, potentiate fiscal redistribution policies, improve democracy, governance and competitiveness, changing from one sex (women) to gender (social) policies for equality, reduction of voluntary education segregation with early age education intervention and support family and care to alleviate the social charges associates to being woman.
