On the other hand, with the approval of this initiative, the Executive, through the Ministry of Economic Development, should carry out promotional campaigns on the investment fund to finance micro-loans for women, especially for single mothers.
In his argument, Tolento Hernández mentioned that “the Employers’ Confederation of the Mexican Republic called on the federal and state governments to implement tax incentive programs for companies that hire single mothers, and that these also promote conditions that facilitate the integration of work and family life. This call cannot go unnoticed and should be welcomed with immediate action in Baja California. ”

Finally, Assemblymember Sergio Tolento said that “government, employers, workers, and civil society must change the traditional paradigm to generate various actions that allow women to make compatible the world of work with the family and their role as mothers, so that companies can offer better conditions to keep the working mothers’ talent in the productive sector, and so that the government recognizes this effort through tax incentives.”
