GENDER INEQUALITY

Gender Inequality is the differential or preferential based on gender being male or female.

In todays society we have strong questions that need resolution.

1. what gender inequalities still exist today? 


  The issue of salary cap, which illustrates women get paid less for equal jobs done by men, also the social and business discrimination of the female gender shows that women are taken less seriously in school and in the social enviroment as a result of being viewed as the weaker gender.

However, even women contribute to this effect as they prefer male professionals in some areas of specialty to female professionals. For example, most women will prefer to see a male gynaecologist even during child birth and for other crucial matters, this does not help the gender equality.

Other issues like glass ceiling and glass escalator highlights gender inequality.


2. What is glass ceiling and how can individuals breakthrough the glass ceiling?


Glass ceiling is an invisible barrier that deters or prevents women from moving higher in an office or position.

To breakthrough, women must continue to strive and persist to fight and stop the discrimination firstly among themselves then they consistently pursue higher positions.

3. Are there other types of glass ceilings that are faced by those other than women? 


There are other forms of glass ceilings but are not necesserily barriers, there are Glass Escalators which is the counterpart of glass ceilling, it allows and encourages men to move up to higher positions or hold better office than women.

CONCLUSION:  The struggle of gender inequality even though has diminished in recent years still exist and must be fought to the last, as we are all humans and should share and benefit equally.
