Promoting Gender Equity in the Workspace: An Analysis of Gender Disparity, Societal Support and Systematic Solutions

Abstract

Gender equity is a long-standing global goal within the workplace, yet disparity persists, particularly in terms of pay gap. This research aims to comprehensively analyze gender disparities in the US workplace. Despite the progress in granting women rights in other areas, such as voting rights, a significant wage gap still shows the ongoing gender disparity in the workplace. Through literature review, data collection and analysis on the current circumstances of wage gap in the US workplace, we identified several significant factors that could lead to further disparity, explored potential role of social discrimination behind these observations, and ultimately outlined a more systematic approach to addressing the prevailing gender inequality. By implementing these solutions, the gender disparity within the workplace can be substantially reduced.
