Hola nuevamente:

A continuación otra consulta relacionada con el documento que estoy traduciendo:

These necessary duties receive little recognition economically, socially and culturally. Although legally guaranteed, requesting maternity leave and time‐off to attend elderly and sick family members are a burden for women and most employers do not allow leave or pay for sick‐leave. Women are employed in high rate in traditional sectors such as Cosmetology, manufacturing, and food processing, while those with higher male presence are machinery and equipment, construction, electricity, and fishing.

Me da la impresión que por el con texto probablemente le falte algo.

los hombres son "fuertes" así se saben ocuparse de los temas "importantes" mientras que etc. es lamentable y no comparto la idea
