Men tinker, varnish and weld; women wear make-up, teach pre-school and care for other people. Those stereotypes may seem antiquated, but typically female and male professions still stubbornly hold their ground. In Germany, for every single male pre-school teacher, cosmetician or nurse, there are nine women. Based on a micro-census, the Federal Statistical Office has evaluated the professions men and women have chosen in the past twenty years. The conclusion: scarcely anything has changed.
