Abstract
The present study hopes to clarify the participation of women's work in secondary sector activities, which include those in manufacturing, mining and quarrying, energy subsector and construction; transcending in turn to the measurement of the economic impact or effect in the rest of the sectors in Panama. The methodology involves the use of data from the VI National Economic Census in its volume III called "Miscellaneous economic activities"; as well as the information of the Supply and Use Tables, both presented by the National Institute of Statistics and Census; and the application of impact analysis as part of the methodology of the Input-Output Tables. The results confirm the gender gap considering participation in the labor market; However, women's work is more productive than men's when measuring the impact, considering purchases and investment in each subsector or economic activity in the secondary sector, for the years analyzed in 2007, 2010 and 2015.
