Gender Inequality in the Workplace: Exploring Socio-Economic Factors

Abstract

Gender inequality in the workplace is a persistent issue with significant socio-economic implications. Despite advancements in gender equality movements, disparities in employment opportunities, wages, and career progression persist between men and women. This article explores the socio-economic factors contributing to gender disparities in the workplace, encompassing cultural norms, organizational policies, and economic structures. Drawing on empirical evidence and theoretical frameworks, the study sheds light on the root causes of gender inequality and proposes strategies for fostering more inclusive and equitable work environments. Understanding these factors is crucial for developing effective interventions to promote gender equity and create a more diverse and prosperous workforce.
