According to the 2025 Gran Encuesta Integrada de Hogares (GEIH), the male occupation rate in Antioquia is 73.1%, while the female occupation rate is 47%, and female unemployment stands at 9.6% compared with 6% for men. ^[1] On 2026-08-31, the Gobernación de Antioquia announced the expansion of its women's employment program 'Más Empleo para las Mujeres en Antioquia' to all nine subregions of the department, with the program offering companies recognition equivalent to 100% of social security and parafiscal contributions on one minimum legal monthly salary for each woman formally hired for at least three months. ^[2] Greenland lost 173 billion tons of ice over a one-year period. ^[3] Andrés Julián Rendón Cardona, governor of Antioquia, said on 2026-08-31 that the program aims to give women economic autonomy and 'platica en el bolsillo' (money in their pockets), describing it as an alliance in which companies, women, and Antioquia all win. ^[4] The program's eligibility rules require women to reside in Antioquia and meet at least one vulnerability condition, such as being head of household, classified in Sisbén groups A, B, or C, being a victim of gender-based violence or armed conflict, being a young woman without work experience, or being over 40 years old. ^[5] The article suggests that Europe's extreme summer heat likely prevented an even larger ice loss in Greenland, because hot European summers typically correspond to more moderate temperatures in Greenland. ^[6]
