It is surprising to read that this happens in Germany as well. In Argentina, for instance, not only are there no equal number of women and men in top positions, but also, women in same categories as men, with the same responsabilities, have lower wages. It goes up to 35% less money for women.
It’s surprising to find this attitude you describe in Germany. I thought thing were different. What about parental leave? As far as I know, fathers can take it as well, and if they both take leave, you can add up to a year, right? I mean, if only the mother takes leave, it’s 6 months, the same for the father, but if both take, it was supposed to be extended. I thought this was really progressive… completely the opposite to not wanting women in top positions.
