It highlights issues such as low pay for women, the perpetuation of traditional biases, and the impact of racism on minority women in the workplace. The report proposes solutions like providing platforms for women's empowerment, promoting equal opportunities within organizations (exemplified by Marks and Spencer's efforts), and conducting government-led awareness campaigns to foster a culture of gender equality. It emphasizes the importance of addressing unequal pay structures, challenging societal assumptions about women's capabilities, and ensuring equal access to education and healthcare to create a more equitable society.

Ethics and employability are considered as the
main aspect for the organisations and as well as for
the economy. It is very important that the
organisation follow a ethics and regulate its policies
from time to time. The women right and gender
inequality is the main concerns which is arising day
by day. The women are facing several issues to to
the gender inequality in the workplace and many
other areas. In many countries women does not get
the equal education has compared to man. This
report will include the causes of the problem in
gender inequality and their solutions. Also, how
Marks and Spencer can contribute in solving
gender inequality.
Over the years the world has coming closer in achieving gender
equality. But still there are many problems which the women are
facing and there is still gender inequality at different areas
including education, workplace etc. Here are some4 causes of
women rights and gender inequality discussed:
Low pay- This caused has been arsed years before and the
tradition is going on. The women working anywhere are been paid
less than the men. This is the biggest problem which is been
identified but the society has believed in a myth that the women
are less effective and efficient in their work. That the reason they
are paid less amount. But this is the cause of the gender
inequality. The efficiency of the work doesn't depend on the
gender. The discrimination leads in lower income for the women.
Women also taken on primarily responsibility for unpaid labor,
where the women participate in the paid workforce, they need to
do extra work which is never identified and nor appreciated and
paid financially.
Racism- The main ethnic minorities in the United Kingdom have
family backgrounds in Commonwealth countries such the Indian
sub-continent, the West Indies and parts of Africa. Most non-
white Britons were born in this country. Despite the race relations
act, the non-white citizens still confront the discrimination. From
the statistics it is observed that 10.3 percent of minorities worked
in the top professional jobs compared to the 9.8 percent of white

INTRODUCTION The causes for the type of inequality in women rights and gender issues

Solutions to the causes
There are some solutions suggested in order to
the above problems related to women right and
gender inequality
provide platforms for the women- it is observed
that the women have less political representation
than men. 62 percent of the world has been made
the women as a head of government. Providing
the equal percentage of the women rights in the
organisation can change the perspectives. The
unequal pays which is given considering the
women work the half of men is a wrong
assumption which need to be changed. The
women need to give the platforms so that they
can develop themselves in the workplace.
Conducting awareness by the government- The
government should create campaign which
support the women rights and gender inequality.
The initiate can be taken by the organisations and
other authorities that they can spread awareness
that the women should be provided with the equal
right in any areas whether the education,
healthcare that people start treating women
equally.
Organisation that contributes in gender equality
Marks and Spencer contribute in gender inequality. It believes
that there is a time to have a change. From the statics its been
observed that the company provides the equal opportunities of
the employment to men and women. The meeting and half of
the table is surrounded with females. This assures that the
women are given right to take decisions and the opportunity to
prove themselves in the workplace. The organisation has
admitted to pay its average female employee 12.3 percent which
is less than average males’ employees. Also, it hold the more
percentage of the women working in the organisation which is
the key factor in contributing to gender inequality.
