Gender Differences

Only a few decades ago the jobs and family roles that men and women had were very divided by gender. In many parts of the world these gender roles have changed significantly over the past 50 years.

Some questions you might want to answer are:

Do you think that these changes have taken place in your country?
How have these roles changed (or not changed) in your own family? (For example who does the cooking and cleaning the men or the women?)
Do you think that there are some gender roles that will always stay the same? Why?
