Gender is both the producer and the results of a social structure and vice versa. Irrespective of whether future studies of gender inequalities focus on political impact, social influence or income differences, it cannot be denied that gender is directly proportional to society and society is directly proportional to gender which is why studying gender and all its related topics like inequalities or preferences are important in determining efficient social structures (Connell 2002; Mellstrom 2003; Williams 2001)
And 2) the entire socioeconomic condition was dependent upon the earnings of the male head of the family (Acker 1973; Crompton & Mann 1986). The former misconception directly leads to two other misconceptions: one is that this leads to the complete ignorance of the division of labor that is done on the basis of gender; and, two is that this misconception infers that it's only the single women who really need paid jobs or appreciate paid jobs whereas married women don't (Delphy 1981)
The latter was a big flaw because taking in only the earnings of the male head of the family completely left out whatever contributions and earnings that the other household members made however significant these contributions may be. Furthermore, an indirect consequence of this misconception is that everyone in the family gets an equal share of the total earning of the head of the family (Edwards 1984)
This is also one of the main reasons that gender differences have been used so extensively and in so many forms by different media and political organizations. Even social organizations over the past few decades have exploited the uncertainty of the meaning of gender and achieved their own purposes through that exploitation (Irwin et al
This is an important aspect as when one understands how gender relates to other aspects, then it can also be understood how gender represents other aspects. Some of the relations that genders forms are with the social systems of a community, how these systems are structured or defined as well as the practical application and consequences of these social systems under different structures and circumstances (Petersen 2003)
Athletic Trainer Gender Inequality in Academia Gender Inequality There appears to be evidence for gender inequality in the profession of academic athletic trainers (ATs). For example, membership in the National Athletic Trainer's Association is 48% female, but at the collegiate level only 1/3 of ATs are women (Kahanov, Loebsack, Masucci, and Roberts, 2010, p
Summary The use of a survey to determine if family obligations contribute to a gender bias in academic athletics can't provide an objective answer, but it did reveal that this was the prevailing perception among female ATs. The struggle to balance both career and family obligations in academia is not unique to female ATs (O'Laughlin and Bischoff, 2005), although it could be argued that ATs are more likely to be required to work irregular and odd hours
In many cases it is due to Culture that the male gender is preferred for Education by the parents. These Cultural norms directly affect the human capital investment from the side of the parents, being low for females in most cases (Hiller, 2008)
And since religion becomes quite a powerful tool against the people, there is no denying that it ultimately results in taking over the people. The issues of Child Morality, Early Age marriages, Fertility, Large Families, Introduction of Education to the next generation, all are related to the development of any nation (Klasen, 1999)
). According to research, "70% of the 2 billion poor are women; 2/3rd of illiterate adults are women; employment rates for women are declining after increasing (yes, of course, the world wars are now over)" (Moosa, 2010)
While there are many agents that are at work to continue to keep such inequalities alive in every nation, one of the most basic agents, however, remains to be Culture. Many human rights activist have even advocated that "women's emancipation cannot be exported to the Middle East or parts of Asia and Africa because of cultural and religious sensitivities" (Mulholland, 2007)
There were a number of studies that pertained to the countries and demographics in question in the article, so the authors did a good job in summarizing the extensive prior research on the subject, and their study was born out of a desire to compare this phenomenon across cultures. Body Reverse causality models imply causal relationships that are the reverse of what might be expected (Blau & Kahn, 2003)
Another example would be that women take fewer well-paying jobs because of various factors and this is why they earn less money. Many studies focus on reverse causality relationships for this subject, in many cases to debunk common arguments made in defense of the wage gap (Neckerman, 2004)
In Uganda, elimination of health user fees in the public facilities are increasing utilization of hospital services that are about 84% and the growth was the greatest that was among those that are poor. But on the other hand if they take away the user fees, than this can have an outcome that does result in unintentional negative penalties, including upsurges in demand that will in return overburden the existing health care systems and then jeopardize the excellence of care that is supposed to be provided (Gruber, S
But this attempt cannot development if women are still seen as second-class citizens as they are in so many parts of the world still. It is an obvious ethical issue that women are not being given the same value health care as the men are getting (McAlister, A
A lot of the low- and middle-income nations have all recently started to remove their user fees in order to increase uptake. These results are showing that this can have an optimistic influence on application of maternal health care facilities and, in some situations, among the lowliest (Veenstra, G

She has now entered her own world, has found her freedom, is away from social constraints and even though lay in her path, she crept over him. In a less malignant and far more endearing way, but, nonetheless, still filled with stereotypes, the other anecdote of "A pair of silk stockings" (Chopin) shows a woman bartering the $15 that she picked up for gloves and hosiery rather than using it to clothe and feed her children
Hence, adequate planning, instruction, and evaluation are vital in creatively seeking to educate the young girls and their families about nutrition and exercise primarily from the school nurses and therapists (Perkins, 2009). Proper nutrition and adequate physical activity are vital for the growth and development of the girls and for the establishment of a healthy lifestyle that prevents future obesity (Bellows, Anderson, Martin, & Auld, 2008)
The lack of participation in sports, or less of it among the girls automatically leads to a docile lifestyle both at school and at home. This then makes the girls to resort to inactive leisure as compared to their male counterparts who engage in active leisure hence having lesser risk of getting predisposed to obesity (Berger & Peerson 2009, pp
