I am from Luanda_Angola and there are different kind of jobs for both, men and women, but there are some tradicionally set for each.
For example, women usually works as: a Secretary,a nurse,a baby-sitter, a kindergarten teacher, street vendor and so on. And, speaking about men,they usually works as: a teacher,a mechanic, a truck driver, a police, a gardener, a painter...etc.
Fortunatly, the situation is changing, because in the current century we can find women doing what we considered as men´s job and vice versa. Now women are working as a police, an electrician, a computer engineer...etc. And men a working as a chef, a gardener, a waiter...etc.

I´m from Uruguay, and there are many jobs that are supposed to be done by men and other by women.
For example, in the construction industry it seems to be no places for women. The same happens in mechanical professions and Politics.
In the other side, there are the “women jobs” like hairdressers, cooks or also the clothes designers.
But nowadays is possible to find a lot of people breaking those moulds. Is quite normal to find women working in the construction industry, or being part of the parliament and holding important state positions. At the same time we see more often men having huge success as chefs or designing women clothes also.
