An Analysis of Gender Inequality Existing in the World

Abstract

In 2000, the United States issued a detailed report on the situation of women around the world, which showed that although women and men lived in the same world, they enjoyed different education, employment opportunities, health, safety and human rights. But in almost every country, women are oppressed as second-class. This paper studies the phenomenon of gender inequality in the world, and finds that the traditional ideology of son preference in rural areas shows that in the workplace, women not only have fewer opportunities for employment and promotion than men, but also bear the double pressure of housework and employment. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated women's employment difficulties and domestic violence. In order to solve the inequality between men and women, the government should improve relevant laws and regulations and guide the development of mass media. At the same time, women should improve their own quality and strengthen the construction of leadership.
