Question

write an article on unequal gender ratio

Answer 1

Gender equality is achieved when women and men enjoy the same rights and opportunities across all sectors of society, including economic participation and decision-making, and when the different behaviours, aspirations and needs of women and men are equally valued and favoured. We casually refer to causes and effects in normal interactions all the time. We all conduct our lives – choosing actions, making decisions, trying to influence others – based on theories about why and how things happen in the world. From the early stages of childhood we attribute causes, building a vision of the social (and physical) world that makes it understandable. Every action, every choice about what to do, is based on our anticipation of its effects, our understandings of consequences. Analytical and scientific reasoning has a similar form, but requires that we approach causation more systematically and self-consciously. To start our investigation of the causes of gender inequality, we will consider how people experience and act out gender in their day to day lives. We want to think about the most basic questions. Why and when do women and men act differently? Why and when do people respond differently to women than men? How do all these private individual actions when taken together over time influence the understanding of gender in a culture and gender inequality? Where do we go from here? Predicting the future is the ultimate challenge for causal analyses. To have any potential to see into the future, we need a sound and thorough causal theory, one that can encompass the range of possible influences simultaneously. We also need to cope with the unpredictable potential effects of processes and events that are outside the boundaries of our theories. These are extremely difficult conditions to meet. But the need to make some sense of the future weighs on us. Will gender inquality continue to decline, and greater gender equality spread throughout the world? Are some aspects of gender inquality particularly resistant to reduction, and if so why? Could change stagnate? Behind such concerns are two principal questions. What has caused the long-term pattern of declining gender inequality? And what has preserved aspects of gender inequality in the face of these accumulating changes? Combining the answers to these two questions with an effort to project the relevant influences into the future, is the basis for trying to understand the possibilities for the future. Behind this also lies another analytical question with moral overtones: what does gender equality really mean?
