Materials and methods: By applying a mixed approach (qualitative and quantitative) with a descriptive scope. The population addressed were students and teachers, with instruments such as the survey and the interview. Results: Within the investigation there were students who, from their perception and ideas, mention that men and women must carry out certain activities according to the sex to which they belong. Discussion: Work has a positive impact on a person's life and more on women because it improves their social status, their family roles and even a better position in their marital relationship. However, it is unfortunate that the perception from the labor market is sometimes hostile towards women, denying them fair and equitable access to access different positions or technical or managerial positions. Conclusions: Among the main conclusions, the students know that gender roles are present today, so they are willing to help with housework to change perspectives from an early age and in regards to the teachers of the educational institution.
