Gender inequality has a number of negative impacts, the government, therefore, shall try to reduce gender inequality, in order to achieve elevated economic growth and set enhanced developmental goals. (Rao and Frugte et al
People have always fallen in love, and throughout the ages many couples have loved each other deeply."(Coontz, 5) As Coontz observes, although there were certainly cases where couples were in love or at least were held together by a deep affection, love was certainly not the principal reason for getting married: "But only rarely in history has love been seen as the main reason for getting married
Both choices resulted in domestic dependency."(Cruea, 25) While they could choose to remain unmarried or to work to support themselves, such situations were considered extremely unnatural
Dorothea's opinion of the ideal marriage is very symbolic: she thus dreams of a husband that would resemble a father figure, somebody who could be a teacher and a guiding figure for her, and not a life partner as the modern woman would look for: "The really delightful marriage must be that where your husband was a sort of father, and could teach you even Hebrew, if you wished it."(Eliot, 7) Thus, despite of her cleverness, Dorothea appears to be extremely naive in what regards the roles of men and women
Despite these roles the womankind has continuously been devalued and denied access to various public resources that they should enjoy equally with men. The one part of this form of stratification its tendency to be more intense in scenarios where the work of the woman is directed towards taking care of the family directly while the work of the man is outwardly directed to matters of trade and marketplace (Eitzen, 2000)

This hierarchy of oppression is elastic, at times seeing the Irish, Jewish, homosexuals, and other minority groups as the oppressed, but it has historically been highly linked to race above any other classification. There is not much that can be done to eliminate the biological differences between ethnic groups, but society can change the differences created by our own political and economic systems, and some psychologists even argue that classism can be treated as a mental health issue (Dobbins & Skillings, 2000)
Taking on Gender Discrimination Through Print The book Discounted Labour: Women Workers in Canada talks about a very crucial period that took place in industrial capitalism. This was largely between the years of 1870 and 1939 (Frager & Patrias, 2006)
Conflicts within the personality may also result in prejudiced behavior, due to the projection of personal inadequacies and inferiorities onto other groups or individuals within those groups. Further evidence from survey and laboratory studies that looked at the way individuals feel about themselves and about others suggests that personality variables and cultural orientation moderate the impact of racial discrimination (Harrell, 2003)
Sandhu and Aspy (1997) wrote that the process of dissolving racial identity in a diverse and racist population is extremely difficult. Minority groups are expected to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps, regardless of societal bias against them (Sandhu & Aspy, 1997; Utsey, et al
As such, companies activating in the private domain are prone to offer increased wages than state companies, generating as such the widening of the income gap. The inequality is increased relative to state employees and retires (Larden and Collins, 2007)
"When the unemployment rate is too high, the fruits of economic growth tend to be distributed much less evenly throughout the workforce and tend to be distributed upward." (Bernstein, 2003) Trade policies Market liberalization brought to America similar products but at lower prices which only emphasized the uneven distribution of income
The measurement identifies the minimum income to sustain a society. (Income Inequality Metrics, 2007) The poverty index The poverty index considers the poor population and the level of poverty each population category faces
Its calculation is based on the number of people below the poverty line (P), the total number of people within the society (N), the poverty line income (B) and the average income of the population below the poverty line (a) and its formula is: I = (P/N)(B-a)/a (Income Inequality Metrics, 2007) Gini coefficient It is the most commonly used measurement for income equality and it varies between 0 - absolute equality and 1 - absolute inequality. Graphically, it is represented by the area between the Lorenz curve and the line of equality (Measuring Inequality, 2007)
T., 2000 The formula for calculating the Gini coefficient is, reordered as (Damgaard and Weiner, 2000) Robin Hood index The Robin Hood index, is equivalent to the maximum vertical distance between the Lorenz curve and the line of equal incomes
, 2000 The formula for calculating the Gini coefficient is, reordered as (Damgaard and Weiner, 2000) Robin Hood index The Robin Hood index, is equivalent to the maximum vertical distance between the Lorenz curve and the line of equal incomes. The value of the index approximates the share of total income that has to be transferred from households above the mean to those below the mean to achieve equality in the distribution of incomes" (John, D
Family income inequality declined slowly from 1946 through 1969, increased slowly from 1970 through 1979, and has increased somewhat faster since then." (Levy, 2002) Bibliography Larden, J
Due to this unfairness the women of a society have lesser chances of entering the workforce and work as equals with men. The chances of women working shoulder to shoulder with men are far less than thin (Bailey, 1992)
Some of the most common examples that all of us are aware of and probably some of us are even going through are listed below. These highlight the gender inequality in workforces and how much it has affected the lives of all working ladies (Sen, 2001)
