You may have seen the statistics that indicate that women go to school at around half the rate of men. This is because women are more likely to have children and work outside the home than men. Since women tend to have more children, we are more likely to have a job outside the home, which means that we are more likely to be employed outside the home. This is why women are more likely to be in a certain job category, such as teachers, nurses, and secretaries than men are.
