Answer:

hile women are achieving more educationally and participating more in the labor force than ever before, there is a widespread perception among the public that full equality between men and women remains an elusive goal. Only four-in-ten Americans say that society generally treats men and women equally. Attitudes have changed considerably in this regard over the past 20 years. Even so, a sizable minority of adults (45%) still say that society favors men over women, down from 62% in 1993.

When it comes to the workplace, there is an even stronger sense among the public that the playing field is uneven. A strong majority of Americans say the country needs to continue making changes to give men and women equality in this realm. Some 55% believe that men earn more money than women for doing the same job, and nearly half say there’s a gender gap in hiring and promotions when it comes to the top jobs in business and government. There is a disconnect, however, between these public perceptions and what people actually experience in their workplace. Very few adults say these gender gaps exist where they work.

This section will examine attitudes about gender equality, the wage gap and the glass ceiling. It will look at the experiences of men and women in the workplace and address what the public sees as the most important reasons for the inequalities that persist.

Does Society Treat Men and Women Equally?

Changing Views on Gender EqualityThe public is divided on the basic question of how society treats men and women. Four-in-ten say society generally treats men and women equally. A slightly larger share (45%) says society favors men over women. Only 9% say society favors women over men. Attitudes have changed considerably over the past 20 years. When the Gallup Organization asked this question in 1993, only 23% said society generally treats men and women equally, and 62% said society favors men over women.27

There’s a significant gender gap on this issue. Roughly half of men (46%) say that men and women are generally treated equally by society, while only 34% of women agree. Roughly half (53%) of women say society favors men over women, compared with 36% of men who say the same.

Not only a health epidemic is the COVID-19 pandemic. Our cultures and economies are deeply shocked and women are at the centre of initiatives at caring and responding. Everyday women play vital roles in tackling the outbreak in their role as primary respondents, health workers , community volunteers, transport and logistic administrators, scientists and more.

Explanation:

  • The recent outbreak of COVID-19 triggered a major economic decline, both during the crisis & at the time of recovery, which has a major effect on gender equality. The drop in employment associated with measures to social distance-reduction has a significant impact on sectors with a high proportion of women's employment compared to normal recessions which have a greater effect on men 's jobs than women's jobs. Furthermore, closures of schools and day-care centres, which have a especially severe effect on working mothers, have increased considerably.
  • Because of the fast return to work experience, the impacts of the recession on working men are likely to continue. There are competing powers outside the current crisis and they will potentially encourage equality of gender on the labour market. In the first place, organisations are adopting flexible work arrangements that are likely to persist. Secondly, several fathers are now primarily responsible for childcare, which may weaken social norms which lead to a split distribution of labour division in house work and childcare..
  • UNICEF is dedicated to ensuring equality between men and women at the core of our COVID-19 response, in particular as it concerns the provision of front line service, system improvement and advocacy. Together with our sister agencies, government officials, civil society activists and private sector allies, we continue to work. To this end, UNICEF prioritises five key programming and campaigning actions which recognise the implications of the pandemic: public health, social and economic:  care for caregivers.; prepare for heightened domestic violence during the outbreak of COVID-19; core resources and programs for healthcare and education; and engage women and young people's rights networks to facilitate the exchange of critical knowledge and communication. Ensure the availability, review and operational of gender information.
  • All people are locked into houses because of the widespread lock-down that is provided in the various cities of the world. In addition, when this equality of members of a particular house is upheld, then gender equality in the community and the people can be accomplished. This would enhance the social life of the household. . Men and women both stay at home and earn their livelihoods because the number of jobs is reduced. Hence the role of women in supporting the family now is relevant
