I often praise Venezuela, but I must do so again: the country's new labor law (they enact one every May Day) gives housewives the right to government pensions as part of the country's quest to achieve gender parity and obliterate poverty along the road to socialism. Latin America in general has taken a more progressive and independent turn in the last 15 years or so, but Venezuela continues to lead the charge in a specifically socialistic, egalitarian direction. Present Gini coefficient data shows that Venezuela has the most equitable wealth distribution in Latin America. This new measure will only help further close that gap, to say nothing of ending a form of slave labor in that country and improving the social standing of women.
