causes and effects of inequality

For ages it was believed that the different characteristics, roles and status accorded to women and men in society are determined by sex, that they are natural and therefore not changeable.

 Inequality 

     exists-

There are many points which give rise to gender inequality -

The birth of son is celebrated, the birth of daughter filled with pain; sons are showered with love, respect, better food and proper health care.

 II.    EMPLOYMENT INEQUALITY-     

In terms of employment as well as promotion in work and occupation, women often face greater handicap than men.

III.OWNERSHIP INEQUALITY-

In many societies the ownership of property can also be very unequal. Even basic assets such as homes and land may be very asymmetrically shared.
