While in Spain, I read an article published a newspaper. This article stated that more women than men were graduating from universities in Spain. This new trend seems to be the rule of the generations to come. After examining the statistics above, it is apparent that with more women than men in the school systems, the future of women in Spain is promising. In addition, women are invading the occupational areas.
Women hold all types of jobs, from agricultural to industrial to the services sector.
In fact, compared to the United States, the woman's role in government is exemplary. Spanish women also have more maternity allowances than American women. In many aspects, as the statistics prove, the Spanish woman is not as underprivileged as American's tend to think. The statistics state that abortions in Spain are not permitted. This debate to liberalize the current abortion laws resurfaced in September 1998, but failed.
