Creator

Description

Gender inequality in the workplace is a global issue, despite several initiatives to close the gap. While some regions have made progress, women continue to face inequities in possibilities for employment, earnings, and leadership responsibilities across sectors. Drawing on important research, including reviews of corporate board quotas and structural reasons of gender imbalance, this chapter investigates the root causes of workplace inequality. It identifies major market and social factors that maintain gender disparities and investigates how organizational policies and public actions might affect systemic change. The chapter proposes tangible solutions to minimize gender disparity and enhance fairness and opportunity for women in the workplace. 2026, IGI Global Scientific Publishing. All rights reserved.
