Gender inequality constitutes a relevant problem for the improvement of the indicators of human development in society. To this end, we examined 241 mother-child dyads in an elementary school in the district of San Juan de Lurigancho, in the city of Lima. The sample was comprised of 119 boys and 122 girls, aged 7 to 9 years. Measurements were obtained through the Mother-Child Relationship Stimulation Scale (Panduro, 1998a) in a self-report. To identify the different components of child rearing, we applied factorial analyses. Results show that boys and girls have similar rearing conditions; however, in Socialization Mediation, boys obtain a higher value (p < .05).
