Gender Role Inequalities in the Workplace

Like it or not, gender stereotypes are hard to break and even

though women have caught up with men in terms of education,

there is still a huge gender gap in the workplace.

We have tried to approach these differences through the

perspective of cartoon makers.

According to statistics, women represent over 80 percent of the

secretaries, nurses, teachers and cashiers. It seems that things

haven't changed much for the working woman during the past 50

years.

As a result of their priorities (like family, children, relatives,

friends, love, etc.), women cannot compete against ambitious

men who have been focusing on their jobs throughout their lives

without breaks - particularly at the high-power levels of any given

job.

The phrase “glass ceiling” refers to an invisible barrier that

prevents someone from achieving further success. It is most often

heard in the context of women who cannot advance to the

highest levels of power in the workplace.

PPAAYYMMEENNTT

Women have made great steps in the workplace, but inequality

persists. According to statistics, on average in 2010, women only

made 77 cents to every dollar a man earned. There’s still a gender

gap that needs to be rectified.

Sexual harassment of working women has been widely practiced

and systematically ignored. Men’s control over women’s jobs has

often made coerced sexual relations the price of women’s

material survival.

In a recent study by the Future Foundation and Friends Life, 55%

of women believe there will still be a significant pay gap between

the sexes in 2020, while 53% think that they will still be struggling

much more than men to secure senior roles.

We are more optimistic!!!!!!!!!!!

CCoonncclluussiioonn

As a society, we need to continue

to encourage people to go beyond

stereotypes and recognize the

contributions that each individual,

male or female, can make at the

workplace.
