According to the minister, this equalization should not be considered a reserve of vacancies, but an affirmative policy in order to ensure inclusion and opportunity for more women to perform the second stage. The decision took into account that women are the people who are delegated to care at home. “Women’s approval was more concentrated in the age group between 35 and 45 years.” Another predicted care is in special care for women in training courses after approval. “In the courses that the ministry was coordinating, we demanded that they had a breastfeeding room, a room for children to stay with any guardians who could take care of them,” said the minister.
