Management work and society 2
Introduction
The gender role in society reflects the way they act, speak, groom, dress and conduct
themselves dependent on the assigned sex. Every society has gender role expectations but it
varies from group to group. They also keep on changing in the same society over time. The
gender roles are centered on the conceptions of femininity and masculinity. However, there
are exceptions and variations. For instance, women are expected to be polite, obliging and
nurturing whereas men are expected to be strong, hostile and bold. The gender roles are
determined by the prevailing cultural norms. It influences men and women in almost every
aspect of life. The difference between both the sexes is used as a means to defend the
existence. The difference between genders measures four dimensions like health and survival,
education accomplishment, economic participation and opportunity, and political
empowerment. This report discusses the current roles of men and women at the workplace. It
defines the likely impending role of the men and women in the UK. In order to understand
gender roles, it is segregated. The gender inequality across the world has been stated also in
terms of gender roles and pay.
Gender Segregation
The women’s employment is inclined to be focused in a small number of industries
and narrowed to a series of jobs defined as ‘women’s work’. Women generally held lower
responsibility although they held the same position. Men can be employers, top professionals,
managers, foremen and skilled workers in the society. 32.4 million people are working in the
UK out of it 15.23 million are women and 17.17 million are men. 6.2 million women and
2.28 million men work on the part-time basis. There are 73% part-time women workers and
are alleged to low paying occupations (Abendroth, Melzer, Kalev & Tomaskovic-Devey,
2017). They have even moved to part-time work and causes occupational downgrading. In
the horizontal segregation, women are excessively assembled into a narrow range of jobs
which is usually referred to as ‘ghetto occupations’. The females in the Ghetto occupations
are of low status, poorly paid along with the narrow job content. It offers only a few
prospects for the promotion. The occupations which are conquered by women are viewed as
less prestigious. It can even be judged by from employment by education 2018, the
manager’s position held by the males is 2260 and by females is 1226. In the vertical
segregation, women are over signified in the low-grade jobs at the lower end of careers
