Women in the Workplace

In Bolivia, machismo is still strong, and women are therefore assigned a subordinate position, mainly as the family and house caretaker. While the participation of women in the labour market has increased in the last ten years, this has not translated into greater income-generating opportunities. According to the latest available data from CEPAL, 55% of women in cities in 2007 participated in the labour market. The vast majority of women working in urban areas have the lowest paid jobs, which is thought to be a consequence of reduced educational opportunities. In most companies, women usually occupy jobs with less responsibility, are paid lower wages than men and are subject to harassment. Even if they work, women are expected to be responsible for all household chores. It is estimated that only in one out of five cases do men have the last say regarding major household purchases. Many indigenous women in urban areas work as street vendors or domestic employees. These women are exposed to double discrimination because they are women and because they are of indigenous origins. When they work as domestic help for affluent families, they are subject to long working hours, few days off and low pay. Maids often experience discrimination: they are expected to use their own sets of household items and eat alone in the kitchen or bedroom. Women constitute the largest part of the workforce in the food industry, and they occupy important position within restaurants.

Women who work in offices are expected to dress formally. During their lunch breaks, they generally go home and cook for the family or pick up a ready-made lunch. While highly sought-after jobs for women are those of receptionist and secretary, an increasing number of women are enrolling in degree courses in order to occupy positions in areas once reserved for men. At the San Simon University in 2012, women constitute around 70% of the students in the degrees of medicine, physiotherapy, pharmacy, dentistry and nursing. Similar rates are

present in the social sciences and humanities, including social work, psychology, linguistics, educational science and communication. Now that more women are graduating yearly than men, women will increasingly be occupying professional jobs in the future. At the present time, women who work in managerial positions are viewed with respect and even awe. They are thought to possess great ambition and determination for having managed the difficult task of climbing the corporate ladder. Women still largely prefer independent or professional jobs because they allow greater professional development and flexibility to care for the family. According to Bolivian law, female workers have the right to a total of 90 days off work before and after the birth of their child, and they cannot be removed from their position for up to a year after. After going back to work, they have the right to take one hour off every day to breastfeed their child.
