Gender Equality

Disadvantages/Issues

Men: They don't want to compete with women, and feel they don't need to which creates a rise in tension. They are getting mad because women are "stealing" their job

Women: They feel that they are trapped in this loop where they cant follow their beliefs because men are easily present and are treated better with more opportunities (e.g. some women cant get a job because they are married and the company doesn't want them leaving on maturity leave)

Companies

Companies face backlash as they are seen to favor men more

As they begin to change fro G.E reasons, they know feel that they have to chose more women and are facing distraught decisions that are angering the male workers

Action

Law

The Equal Pay Act of 1963 is a United States labor law amending the Fair Labor Standards Act, aimed at abolishing wage disparity based on sex.

The Workplace Gender Equality Act 2012 replaced the Equal Opportunity for Women in the Workplace Act 1999. The strengthened legislation aims to improve and promote equality for both women and men in the workplace.

Perspectives

Young Men/Women

Women: They are beginning to feel discouraged in comparison to their male peers

Women: Are learning that they 're NOT equal to men and that their voice doesn't matter; affecting the future of our world

Men: They learn what/how gender equality is presented from older role models (father, uncles, grandparents) steering them down a negative path

Men: However, as society develops they are beginning to understand the diversity and change in needed revolving primarily around women but how it affects THEM too

Society

Earlier, society believed that gender equality wasn't a problem. As society develops mind sets are changing

Younger generations are beginning to adapt the equality mindset that older generations had to learn to understand

Society are seeing this issue as a negative: more women are wanting to be in the workforce that doesn't involve traditional jobs and are asking for equal pay etc and a positive: the evolution of our economy that can benefit the country and those in it

Women

People see their opinion as "useless" since they believe that gender equality is just connected to women, which causes them to feel as discriminated against

They feel as if their "secondary" to the work and social world

Decided to take a stand, now asking for equal rights, pay and job opportunities in comparison to their male co workers

Men

Men play a large role in gender equality

In order to see a change in perspectives, men must play an active role in G.E

When men are active in this issue, people see that its more than just consistent bias women-based opinions

When men put on a "don't care" perspective on this issue, it teaches their male relatives/younger generation that it's a false and unimportant issue
