What are some of the situations in which we see gender differences?

Social:

 Different perceptions of women's and men's social roles: the man seen as head of the household and chief bread-winner; the woman seen as nurturer and care-giver.

 








Political: 

Differences in the ways in which women and men assume and share power and authority: men more involved in national- and higher-level politics; women more involved at the local level in activities linked to their domestic roles. 

Educational: 


Differences in educational opportunities and expectations of girls and boys: family resources directed to boy's rather than girl's education; girls streamed into less-challenging academic tracks. 

Economic:
 Differences in women's and men's access to lucrative careers and control of financial and other productive resources: credit and loans; land ownership.
