A toolkit for promoting equality: the contribution of social policies in Latin America and the Caribbean

This toolkit aims to facilitate the assessment of the multiple dimensions of social inequality in Latin America and the Caribbean, and to provide relevant information on social policies implemented in different countries in the region that have effectively reduced inequality. It also supplies information on key international standards that, starting from a rights-based approach, will facilitate the formulation and implementation of social policies that will reduce inequality. The analysis draws attention to the challenges that need to be taken up by social policymakers in order to improve the living conditions of the population groups that have been left the furthest behind. The descriptions of these policies are intended to be a starting point for exploring and expanding upon the array of possible responses to inequality.
