Which is the diference between woman and mens in the society? At term of oportunities at jobs, degree,etc.?

Answer 1

i dont really understand this, considering that the gap inbetween gender is closer smaller still, but men are preferred in the workplace, jobs and a lot of things, and we still get paid the same. I say its because we are unified, and we choose "that guy" for the job after we chose "that hot chick". but ive never been in the position to pick new employees

Answer 2

Your question is worded a little odd.

Socially:

We are on a more equal footing. More and more women are working outside of the home. There is an increasing number of men who are working less hours or not working enabling them to raise the children. Marriages are becoming more of a partnership.

There is an increasing number of dead beat moms who walk away from the children and leave their rearing to the fathers. They are not forced to pay child support as often as the men are. Double standard at work.

Education:

More and more women are going to college and earning degrees. The number of men has decreased. Don't know why.

Employment:

There are more women than ever holding high ranking positions in the workplace. However, compared to the number of men the percentage is still low.

Women on average still only get around 72% of the pay a man receives for the same job and same qualifications.

Some companies still promote men over women. However, there are businesses and companies ran by women that tend to promote women over the men and pay them more.

This example is a form of reverse discrimination. It is wrong no matter who it is happening to. There should not be a double standard.

Points to ponder:

Realtor is partially right. Maternity leave can be 4 weeks to 12 months for a women. Men usually take 1 day to 2 weeks off for the birth of a child.

On average, more women call out of work due to a sick child. The man continues to work. Women get sick more often too, probably due to being with sick kids.

Any call out or missed work day can be a disruption in your consideration for promotions. You have to go to work to be noticed and move ahead. Oh don't get me wrong, you get noticed if you miss work too much. The attention is more negative.

Most employers that say they are a family orientated company lie. Most want you to put your job first. They are there to make money not be philanthropists.

Answer 3

I guess Western societies have made greater strides than some others.
But other socities are playing ketchup. In Africa, Liberia has the first female African president;Ghana has its first female Chief Justice.etc.,
But, beyond the high-profile cases, a lot needs to be done in bridging the gap. Countries establishing whole ministries dedicated for Women and Children's Affairs, I think, is a step in the right direction

Answer 4

In terms of work advancement and educational advancement there is no difference between the genders as far as opportunities go.
As far as results go, yes - there's a difference - statistically speaking. More men who start on the ladder to success get up the ladder than do women. But the reason is NOT sexism as some would have you think.

The reason is that more women than men have interruptions in their efforts to climb the ladder. ANYBODY who takes time off from climbing the work ladder (be it to have babies, to stay home with babies, to take a couple years off to do drug re-hab, to take time off to "find yourself", to travel the world.... or ANY reason) will not advance up that ladder as far or as quickly as someone who does not take time off.

I don't mean this as a judgment - it's just a fact.
