Gender Inequality at Work

Take a look on page 189 of your textbook at the video How Does Gender Affect the Workplace.

I don't know if this link will work or not (might be just for me). https://digital.wwnorton.com/33646/r/goto/cfi/78!/4

Or go to the text https://digital.wwnorton.com/thefamily2 , go to chapter 5, then to page 189.

Women still often work in areas similar to the roles they play when not at work?

On the positive side, recent reports show more women in the workplace than men. Does quantity=higher pay? Not necessarily.

Some positive statistics:  https://www.careercontessa.com/advice/women-in-the-workplace-stats/

What do you see in your workplace? In government and teaching jobs, I see very little inequality. Same jobs=same pay. In corporate America, it's more uneven, in construction/trucking, uneven. Other areas? Where do you work or plan to work?

Do you foresee problems with gender inequality in your future work?
