Women are associated with jobs which are gentle, require patience, that are less physical and technical. It is linked to women's role within the family. It is believed that women do not have a technical or scientific mind. They are considered physically weak. Whereas armed forces, agriculture, mechanical and technical jobs are associated with men.
