How Gender Affects Women 's Role

Gender inequality is amongst us all in any given society. Although gender is not as simple as may seem. Gender comes into play along with a number of different aspects such as sex, gender and gender roles.

In Indian media, women are often shown in relationship roles advertising clothing more often than men are shown in these roles (Das (2010) cited in Collins (2011)). This is a common stereotype, women are often thought of as an accessory to men. In South Korea, women are usually depicted in roles as maids while men are usually shown as business professionals (Paek et al. (2010) cited in Collins (2011)).

The topic of immigration has been a consistent topic in the media, the recent presidential election, and even in our everyday lives. What role does immigration actually play in the United States? More importantly how does it affect or not affect women and families? Is there enough research to show that gender even plays a role in migration?
