And what is a reason that also accounts for the fact that in India, 80% of teachers are men (more than the overall proportion of men in the work force)?
because women in India dont have equality of opportunity? so not many get higher education and those who do probably go into tech or some high paying jobs and/or leave the country alltogether
Its cultural as well, in India specially the older generation it was expected that women stay at home and take care of the kids while the men work.
Huh That is weird, As an Indian I have to ask you to cite a source. My mom is a middle school teacher and I studied in the same school I remember the ratio of female to male teachers at around 7:1 and similar ratios were through out schools in the city
