Abstract

In this study, we shed light on the connections between social mobility and policies in terms of care and social protection in the state of Nuevo León. The objective is to examine women's opportunities for choice and life achievements in terms of social mobility using a broader human development approach that, beyond education, health, and social security, integrates the contribution of both paid and unpaid care work to individuals' wellbeing and social mobility. Our results show that if we considered the 25th position for the household of origin as a reference point, on a scale of 1 to 100, it appears that while women who live in areas with no childcare facilities reach the 29th position, those with access to childcare facilities reach the 40th, thus highlighting that early childhood care services and care for other population groups has positive effects on women’s social mobility.This paper is part of a research project supported by the Extension of the EU-AFD Research Facility on Inequalities.
