Gender Roles

Work opportunities for women

Women's progress in the workforce over the past 10 years has not meant greater access to quality jobs, nor has it brought an end to discrimination Mary Chinery-Hesse, ILO Deputy Director-General and leader of the ILO delegation to the Fourth World Conference on Women (Beijing, September 4-15).

Women's employment is primarily concentrated in a narrow range of sectors especially services, where access to jobs is easier but wages are often lower and job security minimal. http://www.ilo.org/global/about-the-ilo/media-centre/press-releases/WCMS_008091/lang--en/index.htm By: Maria Angelica Jimenez V.

Domestic violence

The state of Mexico is the most violent state for women. More than 2,300 women have been killed over the last nine years (Aljazeera, 2015). The company's study of gender violence found that the problem affects 33% of women worldwide, with the proportion reaching 71% in Africa and 40% in Latin America (Latin America, herald tribune).

In July 24th, women in Mexico took to the streets to protest a startling prevalence of domestic violence. According to the website "Women in the world" in association with the NY Times, Mexico is currently one of the world's 20 worst countries for violence against women. http://nytlive.nytimes.com/womenintheworld/2015/07/24/women-in-mexico-take-to-the-streets-in-protest-of-domestic-violence/ By Camila Pedraza

Discrimination

One of the most common problems in Mexico is the gender inequality.

gender inequality on education

Mexico is also one of only three OECD countries, the others being Switzerland and Turkey, where more men than women have obtained a tertiary education

The unequal gender distribution across occupations-

The men go to work while the woman do the cleaning house

Not all the women are accepted in government jobs. For example Mexico has never had a female head of state.

Gender pay gap

The men earn more than the women.

According to a 1998 study, women held only 14.2 percent of parliamentary seats in Mexico, putting it behind most developed countries (with the exception of the United States) in female representation.
