| description | Access to paid work, the occupation according to productivity sectors and the time use are factors that influence the ability of women to generate their own income, therefore, they conditionate the economic autonomy and should be presented on equal terms with respect to men. The main objective of this research is to know the labor position of Latin American women through the analysis of 6 employment indicators in 15 countries of the region, which were compiled and published in 2020 by the Gender Observatory of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC). Through the HJ-Biplot multivariate technique, similarities and differences between indicators, countries and genders were explored, to find out the conditions that do not favor the economic empowerment of women or their participation in the labor market. It is concluded that the Central American nations register the largest gaps in economic autonomy both between men and women in Latin America, while in countries such as Uruguay, Colombia, Costa Rica, Chile, Panama and Brazil, there are increased opportunities for female employment in high productivity sectors. |

El acceso al trabajo remunerado, la ocupación según sectores de productividad y el uso del tiempo son factores que influyen en la capacidad de las mujeres para generar ingresos propios, por lo cual son condicionantes de la autonomía económica y deberían presentarse en igualdad de condiciones frente a los hombres. El principal objetivo de esta investigación es conocer el posicionamiento laboral de las mujeres latinoamericanas a través del análisis de seis indicadores de ocupación en 15 países de la región, los cuales fueron publicados en el año 2020 por el Observatorio de Género de la Comisión Económica para América Latina y el Caribe (CEPAL). Mediante el uso de la técnica multivariante HJ-Biplot se exploran similitudes y diferencias entre indicadores, países y géneros, para conocer las condiciones que no favorecen el empoderamiento económico de la mujer ni su participación en el mercado laboral. Se concluye que las naciones centroamericanas registran las mayores brechas de autonomía económica tanto entre los hombres como entre las mujeres de Latinoamérica, mientras que en países como Uruguay, Colombia, Costa Rica, Chile, Panamá y Brasil se registran mayores oportunidades de ocupación laboral femenina en sectores de alta productividad.
