What explains Mexico's uneven gender transition?
Female employment has risen less in Mexico than other Latin American countries
But there's near gender equal representation in Congress
To learn more, I'm travelling to Mexico City, Oaxaca & Merida
DM if you'd like to meet 🇲🇽🙂

What’s my prior?
Mesoamerican civilisations were #patrilineal.
Societal expectations that women should ideally stay at home were reinforced by #Catholicism, which is still pervasive (80%)
Female labour supply thus rises more weakly in response to economic growth.

Guatemala has a higher indigenous (Maya) population and an even lower rate of female labour force participation.
Catholic share is much lower, however (45%).
It's also much poorer.
So it's more stuck in "the patrilineal trap"
