Gender Imbalance

Gender imbalance refers to the unequal representation or treatment of different genders within a society or specific context, often favoring one gender over another. This can manifest in various areas, such as education, employment, politics, or health care. For example, in some cultures, there are more boys than girls due to societal preferences, leading to skewed gender ratios. In workplaces, women may face barriers to advancement or lower pay compared to men. Addressing gender imbalance involves promoting equality, ensuring equal opportunities, and challenging stereotypes and biases that discriminate based on gender.
