Gender Inequality in the Workplace
Inequality in the workplace can be defined as any form of unfairness or discrimination that occurs in a work related environment and is reputable, promoted, or permitted to continue by the workplace management. It is familiar for a workplace to contain inequalities based on race, gender, and social class. Focusing on the gender equality, this is defined as act of kindness to a given gender for example; an organization’s management may tend to favor male employees to female employees in terms of the wage difference, or responsibilities assigned to the employees.
Gender inequality has been there since long time in the history of United States. Starting 1980s, there have been extra women registered in institutions of higher education compared to men. These days in the U.S., men comprises only 42% of college student. As well, women get a higher number of the honors degrees in most of the universities. For example the Harvard class of 2006, 55% of the women graduated with honors while hardly half of the men managed. During the year 2009, once more approximately 55% of women were honored with honors degrees in contrast with 51% of men (Hsu, 2011, December 1).
In the workplace, a woman earns only 80% of every dollar a man earns. Female employees are doing better in schools than men do, and women absolutely have same credentials, if not better. Regardless of the huge priorities women have gotten in the education system, women are yet at a drawback in the workplace. The modern American workplace does not mirror the fact that women are equally qualified for equal jobs as men are, and hence require same salary (Hsu, 2011, December 1). This is a clear depict that the history of gender inequality in schools or workplace has a long history.
After this discrimination based on the gender of an employee, many female employees tend to carry not up to standard tasks in the workplace, because they feel no matter how hard they toil, at the end of the day the organization management is focused on gender inequality. Additionally, due to gender inequality, most companies tend to favor the number of male to be recruited in an interview, compared to female employees, because they think that male performance is so far more better than female jobs. And this has led to a very big number of women being jobless because there is presence of gender inequality in most organizations.
This gender inequality problem is not a problem that has started one or two years ago, but it is a problem that has been in existence for a long time now. The main cause of this problem is, when the management is made up of a big percentage of male staffs than women, it means the women in authority will never be in a position to convince the large part of management that women employees can perform better and almost same job as male colleagues. Another reason, it is the government not supporting women whenever case of discrimination are presented in court. The moment a discrimination case is not given justice required, it means the female employees in that organization will not have the courage to put forward their humiliation.
Apart from the salary range difference between men and female employees regardless they are doing equal jobs, gender inequality has caused women to be vulnerable to injustice at home, work and also in their communities. Socially, economically, politically, and culturally, women have been handed as second class citizens all through history. Government and nongovernment agencies, together with human rights advocate have carried out noteworthy progress in advancing women rights through empowerment, education and progressive legislation over the precedent century or so. However, there is still a long road in front in getting total equality (Cynthia, 2013).
