Towards Latin America 2026: The Impact of Exports on Gender Equity Database of Indicators on Productive and Export Structure by Gender in Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru

By Productivity, Trade and Innovation Sector (VPS/PTI/PTI)

This dataset contains the inputs behind "Towards Latin America 2026: The Impact of Exports on Gender Equity," a study of indicators on productive and export structure by gender in Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru. It was produced by the Institute for the Integration of Latin America and the Caribbean (INTAL), part of the Integration and Trade Sector of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).

About the initiative

INTAL conducted the second edition of a survey targeting firms in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) that export both within the region and to extraregional markets. The work sits at the intersection of trade integration and social development, examining how exporting firms operated during the pandemic and how their activity relates to gender equity in productive and export structures.

What the data examine

The dataset compiles the inputs used to analyze 405 firms, offering insights into how they navigated the second year of the pandemic. It looks at the evolution of their exports, the challenges posed by the pandemic context, the measures firms took in response, the public support policies they received, and their outlook for the future — all viewed through the lens of gender in productive and export structures.

What is included

The collection provides the underlying database (XLSX) together with the related publication (PDF). The materials include methodological appendices and a sample of the survey, so analysts can understand how the indicators were constructed and how the survey was applied.

Intended uses

Researchers, policymakers, trade and gender analysts, journalists, and students can use the dataset to study the relationship between exports and gender equity, compare productive and export structures across Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru, and analyze how exporting firms responded to the pandemic. It supports both descriptive analysis and replication of the accompanying study.
