Gender Disparities in Economics

Gender disparities in economics refer to the unequal opportunities and outcomes experienced by men and women in the workforce. Women often earn less than men for similar work, face barriers to career advancement, and are underrepresented in leadership roles. These disparities are influenced by factors such as workplace biases, societal expectations, differences in education, and caregiving responsibilities. Addressing these issues involves promoting equal pay, reducing discrimination, and creating supportive policies to ensure men and women have fair and accessible economic opportunities.
