Recently the Oxfam organization pointed out that economic inequality is out of control:
The 2,153 richest people in the world had more money than the 4.6 billion poorest people combined in 2019, while the unpaid or underpaid work of women and girls annually contributes three times more to the global economy than the technology industry.

In the report called Time to care by Oxfam, it is revealed that worldwide, women add 12.5 billion hours of work every day without pay or recognition.
In this same document it is estimated that the unpaid work they perform added at least 10.8 billion dollars a year in value to the world economy. The figure represents three times more than what the technology industry contributes.
For us it is important to highlight that the Chile Mobile Number List hidden engine of the economy is actually the unpaid work of women. That must change.

Economic inequality: women are exploited
The same report reveals that while a group of men earn billions of dollars, there are women who do care work and are exploited or do not receive adequate remuneration for doing these activities.
“For example, cooking and serving food; wash or iron clothes; clean all types of objects and physical spaces; manage resources and manage activities within the home; seek the physical and emotional well-being of girls, boys, young people, older adults and those who face an illness or disability; "It is the work necessary to satisfy basic, everyday needs."
According to Oxfam, 12.5 billion daily hours of work performed by women (equivalent to $10.8 trillion, three times the size of the global technology industry) contribute to the global economy. stay afloat.
Animal Político says that in the Oxfam report, it stands out that in Mexico the 6 wealthiest people have more wealth than the poorest 50%. Globally, 2,153 people have more wealth than 60% of the world's population.
Economic inequality: 2,000 rich people have more resources than 4,600 million poor people
Inequality, both in Mexico and in other countries, Oxfam reports, is built on the exploitation of the work of women and girls, and the systematic violation of their rights.
“Our economic system is built by rich and powerful men, who continue to dictate the rules and keep most of the benefits. Globally, men own 50% more wealth than women. Furthermore, they have a majority presence in positions of political and economic power,” the report reads.
Women contribute to the market economy as cheap or even free labor and, at the same time, support states by carrying out care work that should be covered by the public sector.
According to the organization, unpaid care work is equivalent to at least $1.7 billion pesos, that is, it is comparable to almost twice the annual mining production.
When viewing a panorama of inequality, Oxfam affirms that it is necessary to have a national care system and proposes that, with a 0.5% tax increase, the budget could be increased seven times, for example, for IMSS daycare centers.
“In Mexico there are approximately 2.4 million domestic workers, of which: 98% do not have a contract and their average monthly income is $1,550 pesos, this means that their income is not enough to cover their basic food needs,” says Oxfam.
