Although this study was conducted many years ago the result are still the same today, not that much has changed. Gender inequality has had some minor adjustments with regards to the wage gap. In a more recent study "which examines wage differences across ethnic minorities of the region, it points out that, although the average gender wage gap decreased from 25 percent to 17 percent between 1992 and 2007, the disparity remains quite high and there is still plenty of work to be done" (Latin American and Caribbean Women, 2012). The wage gap is in many countries globally but not as severely or notably experienced as it is in Latin America. However, this also discusses how men are paid more and women are encouraged to stay home and raise the children.
