%X The World Bank Report 2012 starts with this statement: “Gender equality matters in itself and 
it matters for development because, in today’s globalized worlds, countries that use the skills 
and talents of their women would have an advantage over those which do not use it.” With the 
frame that suggest that gender equality matters, this paper describes some policy alternatives 
oriented to overcome gender disadvantages in the formal labor market incorporation of the 
urban middle class women in Colombia. On balance, the final recommendation suggest that it 
is desirable to adopt policy alternatives as Community Centers, which are programs oriented 
to a social redistribution of the domestic work as a way to encourage women participation 
in the formal labor market with the social support of the members of their own community.
