Are gender inequality reducing?
by Amy ReillyWomen face many battles in day-to-day life which has been well documented throughout history.
One of the things that almost every woman has had to deal with is equal pay for the same work. Although this is a legal right in the UK, it does not always come into force. Women earn 11.9% less than men on average. This is often explained by the fact that women are much more likely to be in part time employment. Although this is becoming less common, it often still tends to be the women who are left at home to deal with caring responsibilities for children or elderly family members. This is the leading cause for the gender pay gap. It has also been shown that women are less likely to seek promotions in their 30s and 40s. This has been explained for many reasons, including that they have caring responsibilities or even just that they don’t think they would be able to get it, because they are up against a man. Some employers still have reservations of promoting or even hiring women because they are worried in case they will have to provide maternity leave and cover. This is why women often suffer from the ‘glass ceiling effect’ making them believe that they are unable to progress in their careers. Although society is evolving, women are still more likely to go into lower paying jobs, for example, in the public sector, clerical or hospitality. These are often less reliable, however, they are more open to providing flexibility. Over recent years, many companies have decided to increase the number of women given promotions and there has also been legislations in government to force companies with over 250 employees to be transparent with the amount they pay to both male and female employees, meaning that the gender pay gap is reducing. There still is a gender pay gap and it will not disappear any time soon, however work is being done to improve and slowly but surely, the inequality is reducing. Overall, women are still at a disadvantage in comparison to men, although this is now more of a priority to be resolved than it has ever been.
