Management work and society

GENDER INEQULAITY 1
Gender Discrimination defines that the position of a woman and a man is not equal in
the society. Gender inequality refers the unequal treatment with the individual wholly or
partly due to their gender. In the society, women lag behind men in many fields such as
education, political representation, labour market opportunities and in job pay. Gender
discrimination is an issue in the world which is socially build by the people of the society
(Heilman, & Caleo, 2018). In this paper, the discussion will be made on the topic of “gender
inequality in United Kingdom”.
The role of women in the society is limited to maintenance of family. Male
dominance is a main factor from which inequality is spreading in the society. The society is
called men society in which the women have the responsibility to take care of the families
with the restricted areas that is different from the public area (Jayachandran, 2015). The men
are allowed to work in outside in the external environment such as politics, governance and
many other profession. In the men society, men are responsible to earn the money but the
women do not allow working outside to earn money. The women have the responsibility to
take care of the family members by cooking the food and maintain the house. It has been seen
that the more participation of men in the external environment increase their power in the
society.
The gender organizational concept states that the men getting the advantage and
women face the disadvantage in the everyday works of workplace. The image of men and
women is different in the organization of UK. The statement of masculinity power is used to
define men and it is able to do the physical hard word. The image of women defines with its
care services in the organization of UK. The women contribute in the maintenance of
separation in the organization. The organization of UK implements the act of male notion
helps the male in increasing their power. It has been seen that the point of view of men is
more heard by the organisation as compare to women from that men getting an advantage in

the workplace. The decision taken by the women is not more valuable than the decision taken
by the men in the organisation of UK. The decision are taken as per the majority of male due
to which the opportunity of rise in the profession is very low for women as compare to the
men (Rao, Sandler, Kelleher, & Miller, 2015). The men get the opportunity to rise in their
profession due to their high power in the organisation. The language is essential in attaining
the position of a leader in the organisation that directed towards the male in the organisation
of UK (McMaster, 2016). Women face the difficulties in the path of their career; power of
male is an obstacle in the path of professional growth of women in the organisation. It has
been seen that the people of UK believes that the men can easily maintain the organisation in
a better manner in the position of senior management. Believe and tradition follow by an
organisation increase the difficulties for a woman in their profession. The women getting the
opportunity in the care sector services such as nursing, assistants and many others but they
have less opportunity to getting the promotion in the software development sector (Nicolson,
2015).
From the earlier life, people follow the tradition of segregation which directly affects
the profession growth of women. The difference between men and women is unequal due to
the separation of women from their families. It is the main reason that the women get the low
pay and have less chances of promotion. The women separated from their family after the
marriage due to which there lifestyle is changed. It has been seen that the change in lifestyle
have a negative impact on the progression opportunities of women in their professional life
(Flynn, Earlie, & Cross, 2015). The women take the family leaves which result the gender

efficiency of women diminishes in the workplace due to changing the lifestyle. Change in
lifestyle means change in habits and interest of women. As per the concept, the change in
