This evolution occurred in the context of more general progress in women's status. Female enrollment rates have increased at all levels of education, fertility rates have declined, and social norms have shifted toward gender equality. This report sheds light on the complex relationship between stages of economic development and female economic participation. It documents a shift in women's perceptions whereby work has become a fundamental part of their identity, highlighting the distinction between jobs and careers. These dynamics are made more complex by the acknowledgment that individuals are part of larger economic units-families. As development progresses and the options available to women expand, the need to balance career and family takes greater importance. New tensions emerge, paradoxically made possible by decades of steady gains. Understanding the new challenges women face as they balance work and family is thus crucial for policy. 410 0$aWorld Bank e-Library. 606 $aWomen employees$zLatin America 606 $aWomen$xEmployment$zLatin America 606 $aWomen employees$zCaribbean Area 606 $aWomen$xEmployment$zCaribbean Area 615 0$aWomen employees 615 0$aWomen$xEmployment 615 0$aWomen employees 615 0$aWomen$xEmployment 676 $a331.4098 700 $aChioda$b Laura$01807476 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910955809103321 996 $aWork and family$94357206 997 $aUNINA
