Capitalism and Gender

Capitalism is an economic system where products and services are owned and exchanged in a free market. It often leads to inequality, as wealth can become concentrated. When examining capitalism through the lens of gender, we see that gender roles and expectations can influence economic opportunities and outcomes. Women and marginalized genders may face barriers such as discrimination in hiring, lower wages, and limited access to resources. This interaction creates unique challenges, impacting women's economic independence and participation in the workforce, highlighting the need for policies that promote gender equity within capitalist societies.
