Regional differentiation of gender patterns Abstract It is common nowadays to view the problem of gender from all angles, but until now it has not been considered from a regional point of view. This dissertation focuses on the regional differentiation of gender patterns. The object of this dissertation is to show the biggest diferences between men and women from a regional standpoint by the use of selected indicators. This entails considering the selected gender patterns in distinct districts.
