Roundtable: CORPORATE CAPTURE OF DEVELOPMENT: Public-Private Partnerships, Women’s Human Rights and Global Resistance The roundtable will present a recent book edited by Corina Rodríguez Enríquez and Masaya Llavaneras Blanco as part of DAWN (Development Alternatives with Women for a New Era) that studies 10 case studies in the Global South on Public-Private Partnerships from a Feminist Perspective. With the participation of some of the authors, the roundtable will focus on: 1) what does it mean to analize PPPs from a feminist perspective; 2) what are the main learnings from the case studies; 3) how can the mainstream narrative on blended finance be challenged; 4) how does a transformative agenda on financing for devleopment woul look like. The role of the private sector in care co-responsibility: the case of the Mexican Standard NMX-R-025-SCFI-2015 on Equality and Non-Discrimination N/A, Mexico This paper examines the role of the private sector in promoting greater care co-responsibility in Mexico, where women's labor participation has been stagnant due to structural limitations presented by the unequal distribution of care. The case study for this analysis is the Mexican Standard NMX-R-025-SCFI-2015 on Equality and Non-Discrimination, a voluntary certification mechanism for public, private, and social workplaces that aims to increase gender equality and eliminate discrimination in the workplace through the adoption of policies that promote family and personal life balance, as well as measures that facilitate equal opportunities and accessibility. A mixed methodology of statistical and documentary analysis is used to evaluate the scope and limitations of the Mexican Standard in promoting co-responsibility of the private sector in care, as well as the potential effects of its implementation on women's entrance and permanence in paid work and intra-household dynamics of care distribution. The data is drawn from the National Survey of Occupation and Employment and the satellite account of Unpaid Household Work conducted by the National Geography and Statistics Institute of Mexico. While the Mexican Standard has limitations as a voluntary certification mechanism associated with a monetary and time investment for workplaces, it is considered a fundamental advancement in the adoption of policies promoting co-responsibility and equal opportunities. This research contributes to the ongoing discussion on public policy that increases the role of the private sector in promoting a more equal distribution of care. | ||
