So that leads me to question why is there a gender wage gap and
Gender pay gap is a statistic data reflecting the difference between women and men’s median earnings. It shows the unfairness in the economy between women and men.

In this essay I am going to be defining the differences between the new international division of labour and the new international division of reproductive labour. I am going to be using specific examples to show how both transform existing ways of thinking about gender hierarchies, personal identities, women’s work and mothering.

It should be the role of both the public and private sector to approach the problems of gender inequality in the workplaces of science and technology. This could be done by extending the maternal leave of women, offering daycare services for the children of the workers, and endorse programs and resolutions that would enable women to remain

CHAPTER - I INTRODUCTION “History has come to a stage when the moral man, the complete man, is more and more giving way, almost without knowing it, to make room for the commercial man, the man of limited purpose.
