Gender inequality has a long history. Since time immemorial, women have been treated as inferior to men. They are consigned to performing domestic chores such as taking care of children. The perceptions of gender inequality are designed along with gender roles that are formed early in life. These perceptions are formed along with social constructions. Different countries have attempted to diffuse inequality by designing different policies.
However, it has been observed that these policies are only designed along with economic thinking. Consequently, they reinforce gender inequality since they only seek to equalize economic benefits between men and women, whereas reinforcing social stereotypes against women. The policies are only institutionalized in the workplace but have little impact in social spheres.
Social transformations in women’s lives are connected to social changes that are generated by economic development. However, these economic developments do not essentially decrease gender disparities in incomes. Women continue to be discriminated in terms of pay they receive from employers.
