Gender Roles in Ethiopia
In rural and urban Ethiopia, the senior male of the household has the majority of authority. Men in the country side are in charge of the more intense labor such as plowing, trading, building, and harvesting. Women are more responsible for the domestic labor of the household such as cooking, collecting goods, and caring for the household. It is also not unusual to see women helping men with some tasks in the countryside. In the urban areas, traditional gender roles are less common, but the women still are, most often than not, still in charge of domestic labor. If men participate in domestic activities, he may become a social outcast. In Ethiopia education is still stressed more for boys compared to girls and also given more leeway to social activities over girls, though enrollment rate for girls in education is on the rise.
