Topic: Gender Inequality in the Workplaces
|
Overall theme |
|
Disproportion of number in workplaces | There are no legal barriers for women in any jobs in India. The only place where it was seen in Defence forces, which is also changing now days. Constitution prohibits gender based inequality in workplaces, which is also a fundamental right in India. Women prefer people oriented jobs (nursing, teaching, services) and men prefer things oriented (machines, construction, factory works) usually based on their biological nature of preferences. The cultural and social aspects of India create a disproportion of men and women in the workplaces. Conservative mindsets keep women away from certain jobs, which turn them as male centric ones. Gender activists argue for 1:1 ration in every job. This 1: 1 argument will lead to Equality in opportunity vs. that in Outcome, which is considered as an impossible one. Even though opportunities are provided equally, cultural, social and biological variations will make disproportion of numbers in the workplaces. (example- Scandivian countries, with gender equality is ideal than with us)

Gender equality in childbirth and parenting | Main influencing matter is childbirth and parenting Child birth forces women to take maternity leave for at least two months, in almost all jobs. Usually Indian culture forced women to take care of the children, which made them to resign from job after the birth of a baby. Now a day the society also accepts paternity leaves, and understands father’s responsibilities in parenting. Many companies also offer paternity leave and allowances for fathers also, to take care on the child along with the mothers.
|
Malpractices towards women | No law supports malpractices against women in workplaces, in India. The misbehaving approaches towards women are a drawback of our social and cultural negatives, which consider women as secondary people in the society. Judiciary and constitution of India offer full support for women, who come before, after facing such issues at their workplaces.
|
Other remarks (conclusion) | Gender inequality is very less in Indian workplaces, now days. Discriminating women or others on gender basis is illegal and punishable, according to Indian Constitution. However, some jobs may face gender disparities in number, just because of the social and cultural mindsets of the Indian Society.
