Having seen the pictures of my colleagues, I´m not able to distinguish if they have drawed men or women in these jobs. They really draw very bad. Nevertheless, I think that they had drawed a man as truck driver and doctor and a woman as kindergarten teacher.

Hard jobs or jobs that demand a strong physical effort are traditionally men jobs. Nowadays, this situation has changed. I don´t want to say that there are the same number of women as men doing these jobs, but now women are allowed to do jobs that were restricted in the past. For example, some days ago I heard in a news bulletin about a few women who were working in a mine.

Global gender gap index in Spain is 0.744 (0 to 1 scale: 0=inequality, 1=equality), so Spain is the tenth country with more equality between men and women below countries as Sweden, Norway, Finland, IcelandN., Zealand, Philippines,Germany, Denmark and Ireland.

Nowadays we can find male nurses or women working in construction or female police officers.
