MITRADEL launches "Campaign for Stewardship and Reconciliation of Work, Family and Personal Life"

The Ministry of Labor and Labor Development (MITRADEL) launched the Campaign for Co-responsibility and Reconciliation of Work, Family and Personal Life, which seeks to encourage companies, workers and workers to promote actions that generate equal conditions.

The Minister of Labor and Labor Development, Doris Zapata Acevedo, stated that co-responsibility must transcend and be part of the State with the design of care policies, as well as in public and private organizations in which labor schemes are promoted that allow conciliation between family and work.

In 2020, MITRADEL carried out a random survey related to the conditions of workers and the family at home, which showed that in the assignment of roles by sex, women are seen with more workload in times of pandemic, being left as responsible for the care of the children, their education and everything concerning the activities of the home.

The reconciliation of work, family and personal life is a strategy aimed at achieving a new organization of social and economic systems where women and men can make compatible the different facets of their lives, employment, family, leisure and time personal.

The activity is organized by the Gender and Labor Office of MITRADEL, the International Labor Organization (ILO), and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), with the collaboration of the Municipality of Panama, Mi Bus and the Panama Metro, who provided the spaces for the dissemination of the campaign.
