Gender inequality in the workplace is something that has been controversial for years. It seems like it's the elephant in the room between men and women, but on the other hand it has become something that men and women, though mostly women, now talk about openly. People have long remembered that women were not treated like men or paid like men even when they did the same jobs as men – some sometimes say they did it better. The blog article “Gender Inequality and Women in the Workplace” published on the Harvard University summer school website interviews Mary Brinton, a professor of sociology at Harvard. He asks her questions about the possibilities for women to become more equal, why they might be unequal, and how the treatment of women in the United States compares to the treatment of women in other countries. According to Brinton, wage gaps between women and men (women earn 77 cents for every man's dollar (Gender Inequality and Women in the Workplace, 2013)) in the United States is smaller than in other countries; however, this should not matter. There shouldn't be any difference. Brinton states: “Women have caught up with men in terms of education… women now actually outperform men in educational achievement” (Gender Inequality and Women in the Workplace, 2013). So if this is the case, then why should women be treated as inferior people? Brinton concludes that the problem revolves around women's responsibilities towards their home and family. There are stereotypes that place women in the home and with the duty to take care of their children, but men must also participate and more so that the stereotype is broken, which does not happen so often. The British summarizes t...... half of the document ... and to therefore reduce the stress caused to women by inequality, a policy should be put in place that provides guidelines to companies for wage levels depending on the size of the company and a person's experience and qualifications, regardless of gender. For example, all companies earning more than 100 million per year would have to pay women and men in position A with qualifications A, B, C and D a certain amount of money, and the guidelines would go forward based on the qualifications and dimensions. of the company. If standards were set on how much workers could be paid, gender inequality in the workplace could certainly be reduced. I'm sure inequality would continue to occur, but most inequality comes in the form of pay differences, and establishing rules and standards about what a person can be paid would help address inequality of that form..
