In the Mexican work force, women generally receive lower wages than men, even with educational levels taken into consideration.[12] The median wage for female skilled technicians is 97.3 percent of what their male counterparts make, teachers with 97.6 percent, and female industrial supervisors make 68.4 percent of what males make in that same field.[12] The gender inequity can be emphasized with the fact that there has not been "a female head of state and has had very few female cabinet members.”[12] This explains the "26 percent of equality with men in the political sphere" and that of "42 percent within the economic and legal spheres."[9] This gender inequality produces a gender bias that favors men.
