The presence of women in the workforce has been growing steadily and now, more than ever, women can be felt in almost every aspect of the workplace. Work cultures and informal networks are one of the causes of this stratification, along with institutional and attitudinal processes. Society and personal beliefs and/or socialization also account for inequalities. Women, however, usually receive less pay, are not promoted as quickly as men and are discriminated against in the workplace. Employment opportunities and promotion opportunities continue to be unequally distributed resulting in gender bias and pay inequities. The inequality levels between men and women in the labor force seem to be an unending battle. There are excessively many men in the labor force that seem to be narrow minded and they are causing problems for women who are trying to succeed in the work force.
Gender-based issues at work place have recently become an important topic of discussions in labor market. One of the most prevalent issues is gender-based discrimination where men are given more priority than women for doing a work. There is also other gender based issue which arises at various points in life especially at work place.
