Economic Gaps

Beschreibung

Economic Gaps meticulously examines the persistent economic inequality between women and men, focusing on structural barriers in developed economies. The book argues that these economic gaps, such as the wage gap, aren't solely due to individual choices but are deeply rooted in societal and economic systems. Interestingly, even with advancements in education and legislation, gender-based disparities continue to permeate the workforce, affecting women's labor force participation and access to economic opportunities.

 
The book progresses by first defining core concepts like income disparity and economic access, then explores the underlying causes, including occupational segregation and implicit bias in hiring practices. It highlights how the undervaluation of female-dominated roles and challenges in work-life balance further exacerbate these inequalities. For instance, the book reveals how societal norms and unconscious biases often limit women's professional advancement, impacting their overall economic outcomes.

 
Finally, Economic Gaps proposes strategies to reduce these disparities at individual, organizational, and policy levels. It uses various data sources and analytical methods, bridging economics, sociology, and public policy to offer a comprehensive understanding and potential solutions. This approach makes the book valuable for students, policymakers, and anyone seeking to address gender inequality.
