GENDER INEQUALITY IN LABOUR MARKET
Аннотация
The labor market is used as the primary example in this study to examine the effects of the unequal division of domestic labor on men’s and women’s motivations for involvement and effort in competitive relationships. We discovered that prejudice in favor of women at moderate levels encourages men and women to work more and increase women’s engagement. It cannot, however, ensure that men and women put in an equal amount of effort and full participation without causing economic inefficiency or even distorting the labor market. Given these restrictions, we examine the outcomes of a different approach to policy that encourages males to participate in household duties. The major takeaway is that we must first address the household issue if we want men and women to have equal opportunities in the job market. Despite having a bigger proportion of the domestic workforce, women are less competitive than males. We anticipate that the information we have gathered will help decision-makers and scholars create legislation that will give men and women the same opportunities in the job market.Ключевые слова
