Japanese Gender Inequality

However, gender inequalities persists with a gender pay gap of 18% in the UK and 39% in Korea in 2010 *2 – a pay gap that would not close until 2095, according to the World Economic Forum. This unequal power relations between sexes is the result of sexism, discrimination on the workplace and can result on psychological trauma. *4.

With both of these countries scoring high numbers ( Japan 95, and Canada 52) , this means that they are both masculine societies driven by high competition, women are lesser found in management and they have a larger gender wage gap.(Hofstede (2001), Culture’s Consequences). One factor that separates Japan from Canada is that in a workplace, Japanese are highly motivated together as a group rather than working as individuals.

Gender inequality is the “social process by which people are treated differently and disadvantageously, under similar circumstances, on the basis of gender”(Gender inequality, 2017). This means that one gender is not being treated equally compared to another gender and in most cases it is women.

The United States is constantly facing inequality issues in gender, race, education and social class. Overall, inequality has increased substantially, with the overall level approaching the Great Depression. (Inequality). Any person with less than a college degree has a significant lower median wage than someone that has a college degree. Additionally, a female does not have as high of a wage as a male worker has. Unfortunately, in society today, these inequality problems have grown worse and worse because the use of technology. Technology is becoming more involved in a person’s life everyday. Current increased use of technology has led to more inequality among society.

Gender inequality has been a major problem in the United States for many years. Even though laws have been passed and women have fought for the rights they own today, it has still been a big issue. Gender inequality is everywhere. For example, we see this in presidential elections, businesses, schools, and even in sports. Over the years women have been able to create changes and more women have been able to become dentist, lawyers, physicians, and many more. Women are capable of being able to do things that men can do. Obviously, women won’t be able to do it exactly like men, but they can still do it to a certain extent. Today, we still see it happen in many situations even if something we don’t realize it is happening.

Gender inequality is the preference or favoritism against an individual completely or even halfway because of their gender. This belief system begins from the socially built traditions as to who belongs where in the family and workforce since the old days. Now as possible as it is that people of all genders are vulnerable to it, in the present society, it is evident that a man is preferred over a woman to take lead or handle the situation with poise, strength, and vigor. It can be seen almost every situation where men are treated as the main or head within a group of people and women are slighted over almost unwittingly. This unequal treatment can be seen in different social conditions and places like learning establishments, colleges, holy places, workspaces, recreations, and occasions to give some examples.

The mass media has been stereotyping genders and misleading the minds of children for ages. Children's books present a plethora of ideologies, beliefs, and values from the dominant culture, including gender ideologies. The social constructs that society has invented is being taught to children as they mindlessly watch a television show or read a book, not knowing the propaganda of what they are consuming. The gender inequality in children’s television shows and books teach the minds of young adolescent’s, societies impression of family gender roles, relationships and the different levels of importance with physical looks in men versus women. These reasons help highlight how children’s media is promoting gender inequality and distorting the minds of young children.

Throughout most societal institutions there is at least some gender inequality. To begin, the institution of the family is much gendered, causing inequalities. As you might know, during the middle of the 1900’s, most fathers went to work, while the mother stayed home. However, overtime, more and more women entered the workforce. In fact, today, only about 12 percent of American households consist of a husband who financially supports a wife and children, while the mother stays home (Wade 248). Even though there are more women in the workforce, most mothers are stuck doing all the household chores after work, known as the second shift. In reality, women spend 15 more hours per week doing the second shift (classroom notes).

It is undeniable that gender inequalities issues have become a centerpiece within global politics. Despite efforts in the last decade by feminist activists and politicians to reach gender equality in politics, women are still underrepresented within governments worldwide. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said it best when he was questioned as to why he considered gender parity within his Cabinet to be a necessity : ‘Because it’s 2015’ (Warzecha). The aim of this essay will be to defend Prime Minister Trudeau’s decision to implement gender parity as it purports to decrease gender inequalities and because gender parity in itself fulfills the basic values of a democratic state. In order to determine the possible implications of this new policy, it is necessary to determine whether institutions ought mirror society in their political representation. The case of the Rwandan government will be reviewed in order to determine the outcome and implications of a female-majority government so as to determine the benefits of gender parity. Finally I will evaluate the possible flaws behind the establishment of gender parity and how despite those flaws, the Canadian government and governments worldwide ought to establish gender parity as a duty to democracy and future generations.

This paper aims to look at the Policies that could introduce to move us more towards male and female equality. As we know, some people still hold an opinion that men and women are not equal in this world which give rise to differences in the role of genders. To break down the reasons for gender inequality, we have to comprehend what we mean by gender inequality. How might we imagine and discuss gender inequality in ways that are sufficiently general to apply over the scope of pertinent marvels, sufficiently reliable to limit applied ambiguities, and sufficiently exact to be scientifically viable? Gender inequality has been remarkably assorted and across the board. Ladies and men are unequal in each possible route in unlimited conditions, both prompt and continuing, by both target criteria and subjective experience. In the human evolution, gender inequality is still act as a barrier. In this paper, I will shed some lights on policies that will diminish the inequality between male and female.

Gender inequality is the concept that men and women are not equal. Stephan Klasen (1999), asserts that gender inequality has been an important factor in contributing to poor growth performance in developing countries in South Asia. Gender gaps exist that favour males in education, personal autonomy and employment that positively affect their lives over females. On March 8 2003, International Women’s Day the former Secretary-General of the United Nation Kofi Annan stated that in order to achieve development that countries must invest in women (World, 2012). Further he concluded by stating that when “women thrive, all of society benefits, and succeeding generation are given a better start in life” (World, 2012). Discrimination of women in India is dealt through initiatives and programmes that aim at bettering women’s lives through economic and political inclusion. These initiatives however only relieve surface level issues and do not addresses the root issues of gender inequality. This paper examines the role of gender inequality in development, inequalities encountered by women in India is used as a base for analysis. Women’s inequalities in India is characterized by a lack of employment opportunities, education, political and personal autonomy. These inequalities will be examined to reveal how they are linked to indicators of development emphasizing joint importance’s.

In India, since long, women were considered as an oppressed section of the society and they were neglected for centuries. During national struggle for independence, Mahatma Gandhi gave a call of emancipation of women. Men and women are both equal and both play vital role in the creation and development of their families in particular and society in general. Indeed the struggle for legal equality has been one of the major concerns of the women’s movement. Thus the first task in post independent India was to provide a constitution to the people, which would not make any distinction on the basis of sex. The preamble of the constitution
