In recent years, gender-based inequality in the workplace has been a much-discussed topic. In spite of many advances that women have made in education and employment, they continue to be at a disadvantage when it comes to pay and promotion. I believe this is largely due to the influence of traditional values regarding a woman's place in the family, not just from their own parents but also from society in general.
While women’s participation in the workforce has increased over the past few decades, they continue to be at a disadvantage when it comes to pay and promotion. Many people argue that a gender-neutral approach is all that’s needed to minimize discrimination, but this isn’t the case. Men and women are different: most obviously, we have different hormones and genetic profiles, but also different professional preferences. For example, women tend to prefer part-time work and children bring added responsibilities that men rarely have.
In today's world, the economy plays a much more significant role in everyone's lives. This is why I support the idea that pay and promotion should promote equality of opportunity for women and men in the workplace.
Equality of opportunity for men and women has been a long-standing issue. Though access to education and career choices have improved over the last few decades, promotion and pay still remain important issues in need of attention. To promote equality, laws and education/training must be implemented to encourage hiring managers, as well as employees, to embrace cultural differences in the workplace.
In recent years, gender equality has been a popular topic due to the fact that much gender bias has been observed in society. That is why there are many views on what should be done to promote equal opportunities for men and women in the workplace. The primary solution is the implementation of equal pay for equal work legislation by governments. With this in mind, I agree with those who believe it is important to focus on this issue rather than just on promoting better education or childcare.
Human civilization, has progressed through the hard work of great philosophers and scientists, in the process creating a lot of excitement and fascination. As part of this process, human society has made some wonderful strides in science, education and the workplace for both men and women. However, men continue to outnumber women at all levels of pay and promotion. I will begin by offering two reasons for this state of affairs.
there are a number of ways in which women can improve career prospects in the modern world, and these range from applying for jobs previously seen as male domains to changing societal attitudes.
As long as men and women are equally qualified, they should be equally considered for advancement opportunities. While many advances have been made, sometimes an unacceptable double standard still prevails. As a professional woman who is also the mother of two young girls, I hope to continue being a role model who demonstrates that both men and women should have an equal opportunity to advance in the workplace.
Men and women in the workplace have continued to be at odds with regard to equal opportunity, even after many technological advances. A remedy would be for employers to provide leadership development programs that allow men and women to learn about one another's contributions in a work setting.
Women now make up just over half the workforce. In spite of this and other advances, there are still too many governments and private organisations that apparently support gender equality but pay lip service to it at best. Wherever possible, large companies with well-paid CEOs should be encouraged to follow the example of those that insist on employing an equal number of men and women at every level in the organisation, making sure that if any senior jobs are cut during a downturn, they have a rough 50/50 balance. It might also be worth considering imposing a kind of positive discrimination in favour of women in the selection process for cutting-edge research projects. However, some industries are so male-dominated that women's views about how things could be done differently are often overlooked. One solution could be for rival companies in such industries as export and engineering to study what job changes got more women into senior positions when it was tried in countries such as Sweden. Women might be happier working for company A where they know that their ideas will get a fair hearing rather than company B where they may feel ignored even if they are paid more. Getting equal pay is a key part of any solution but we must not forget that ideals such as freedom and equality should never be compromised.
As the world develop and transform into a more modern place, women have been going through an increasing advantageous situation. However, they are still faced with challenges of wage gap and opportunities that might influence their working lives. In my view, there are several ways to lower these barriers in order to maintain equal opportunities for men and women in workplace.
