Mexico needs a mostly state-funded social program that would enable more women to enter the workforce, an adviser to presidential frontrunner Claudia Sheinbaum said in an interview.
The program would train caretakers for children, elderly or disabled people currently being looked after by women who are unable to work, said Senator Olga Sanchez Cordero, who is advising on women’s issues as Sheinbaum pulls together her policy platform.
