In Catalonia is similar than others countries. Here are a lot of jobs tradicionally for men as taxi driver; miner; bus driver; plumber; electrician; upholsterer; carpenter or farmer. And the jobs traditionally for women are nurse, teacher, cashier, dresser, or florist, for exemple. Not too long ago that this situation is changing and we can see woman as taxi driver or carpenter and men to work as teacher. However, if you work in a job that are traditionally for men, you earn more money than you work in a traditional job for woman. Is ussually the women earn less than man.

Nowadays this situation is changing but still need more chage because the laboral situation for women is the worst, is worse than the man. For exemple, our didn’t have jobs with a strong resposability because we spend a lot of time in the housework and most leaders are men and they prefer to hire a man before a woman. It’s a cultural situation that we have to change.
