Lee y escucha el texto sobre la situación laboral de los hombres y las mujeres debido a los estereotipos.

Men, Women and the Working Place

When we think of "diversity" we always picture different colours, different languages, different cultures... and we, almost always, forget something really important: The difference between men and women at the workplace.
 
No doubt this is just one more case of discrimination; perhaps not so obvious as those concerning colour or language or culture... but discrimination, no doubt!

Many years ago there were "male" and "female" jobs depending on responsibility, physical condition, personal influences... Nowadays, men and women can apply and perform any type of work. Our society does not accept discrimination by means of sex; at least not openly but... are men and women treated the same in all the workplaces? Are they paid the same salary for the same job? Is pregnancy still a handicap to get a job?

These and many other similar questions for which the answers are, not always, the ones we would like to hear make us think that there is still a long way to cover before men and women will be absolutely equal.
