It is false because in the first place the salary of women is lower than that of men. It is a sad reality that households headed by women are below the poverty levels, although there are usually some exceptions, especially in Latin America where women have been standing out. However, the fact of being a woman entails exhausting responsibilities such as the upbringing of children, household chores, which take a valuable time and therefore reduce the amount of income to support their families.
