62% of full-time working mothers in the U.S. say balancing work and family is difficult — compared to 47% of fathers — and in most dual-income households, women still take on more household chores and more caregiving, even when they work the same hours. Pew Research Center's new report, based on 2,242 families, documents this clearly. The question that matters to us: what about Mexico?

In more than two thirds of the world, birth rates have fallen below replacement level. Employment, housing and education remain key factors, but mobile phones are playing an increasingly decisive role.

80% of employees say that their caregiving responsibilities affect their productivity — but only 25% of employers acknowledge it. This perception gap has a tangible cost: absenteeism, turnover, and permanent exits from the labor market.

In 190 economies analyzed, women have only two-thirds of the legal rights that men have — and no country offers full legal equality. The World Bank’s eleventh report reveals that the problem is not just the law: even where formal equality exists, mechanisms to enforce it are incomplete and implementation is weak. Removing these barriers could increase global GDP by 15 to 20%.

In 1950, one in ten university students in Mexico was a woman; today, they represent 53% of enrollment. But entering university does not mean entering on equal terms: only two out of 100 women choose STEM fields, even though those who do can earn up to 45% more than the average female income.

Almost 6 out of 10 men in the United States support a return to traditional gender roles; among women, that figure drops to 4 out of 10. The survey by The 19th News — conducted with over 20,000 adults — reveals a generational and partisan gap that shapes how Americans of all ages envision family, work, and home.
