Question

what are the exceptions from males and female in our society​

Answer 1

Answer:

While 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.
