Social discrimination; Gender studies: women; Personnel & human resources management

Although there have been significant advances to reduce the gender gap in the workplace, this reduction is only observable in certain countries and regions. Gender issues may involve limitations, salary discrepancies, unethical treatment, lack of promotion, reduced participation, or discrimination due to gender conditions. Existing barriers have caused women to face greater poverty in retirement, with limited or non-existent pensions. In many cases, women have developed informal work strategies to make up for the lack of fixed salaries, which prevents them from adequately contributing to pensions. These forms of discrimination affect the future of women who aim for personal and career success. It is essential to explore gender equity as an equal opportunist practice, in order to further support women in the workplace. Reducing the Gender Gap in the Workplace explores the gender gap in the workplace, its effects, and how it can be reduced. It models public policies to promote gender equality as an essential element of sustainable development. Covering topics such as gender pay gaps, cultural barriers, and power positions, this book is an excellent resource for business owners, sociologists, educators, policymakers, government officials, researchers, academicians, and more.
