Traditionally women have been inducted into jobs which were not fit to take the male members. Women are also associated with jobs which are soft and apparently said to appeal to their caring nature. Jobs like nursing, teaching, secretary, clerks, see a large number of women participators. On the other hand, men have been associated with jobs which require a lot of intellect, stamina and power. Jobs in hard sciences, construction, politics etc. see a large number of male members.
