Igualdad de género, educación y trabajo: aproximación hacia la situación de Chile, Cuba y Finlandia

Abstract

The objective of this article is to make an approximation towards gender equality, education and work in three countries such as Chile, Cuba and Finland. These three contexts have been selected because they have different economic and political models, thus it is hoped to identify their impact on equal opportunities for men and women. For the development of this article, the methodology of documentary analysis is used, through the juxtaposition of certain indicators such as these: Universality and gratuity, student training, teacher training and quality, investment in education, human development, family participation in education, gender gap, wage gap and labor participation. It is concluded that the ideological impact that operates through an economic model can affect equal treatment and opportunities, specifically, Chile stands out for achievements in terms of access and educational coverage, Cuba has better academic performance indicators and Finland has high gender equality indicators. In view of the above, it is extremely important to consider that some policies could be replicated in our country in order to contribute to the elimination of gender gaps.
