We are far from the fact that working conditions are equal for men and women who have children, has been demonstrated by a study entitled 'The myths of equality in the workplace'.
In it, according to a survey of thousands of workers, 64% believe that having children does not affect men, while 59% think that being a mother does harm women in the selection process, meaning that It is frowned upon that working women are mothers, but not that men are fathers when they intend to access a job.
Of course, they are the ones who request the lowest to take care of their home and their children and are the ones who use the most time at work to make personal arrangements for their home and their children.
As we can see, the objective data show that women continue to be discriminated against because they are mothers, while men are not harmed so much, among other things, because there are few who dare to take parental leave (excluding 15 days) for it is "frowned upon."
However, things happen from time to time that tell us that little by little we are moving forward. Hopefully, the case of a supermarket cashier, the mother of a ten-month-old baby, is preceded by a judge who allowed her to change her work schedule to attend to her daughter. But remember that he ended up in court because the company did not allow him to do it at first.
It is clear that there is still a long way to go in pursuit of family and work conciliation.
