 GENDER ISSUES
 Gender refers to the socially constructed
characteristics of women and men – such as
norms, roles and relationships of and between
groups of women and men.
 It varies from society to society and can be
changed.
 Gender norms, roles and relations influence
people’s susceptibility to different health
conditions and diseases and affect their
enjoyment of good mental, physical health and
wellbeing.
 Gender In Education
• a type of sex discrimination in the education
system affecting both men and women during
and after their educational experiences.
• Men are more likely to be literate on a global
average, although women are more prevalent
at in some countries.
• Men and women find themselves having
gender differences when attaining their
educational attainments.
• Although men and women can have the same
level of education, it is more difficult for
women to have higher management jobs, and
future employment and financial worries can
intensify.

• There is a more "masculine culture" in today's

society and when women take on the role of
managers in a company, male counterparts
become tense.
 Gender In Workplace
• the differences between the genders have
long been the topic of debate and the subject
of many books.
• women now get positions formerly held by
only men.
• most men have respect for professional
women in the workplace and no longer hold
the "cave man" belief that women belong at
home, raising kids and cooking meals.
• Women aren't as experienced in sports as men,
so they can't be as good team players.
• Assertive women are trouble – or worse:
feminazis.
• Women are the primary source of gossip in a
workplace.
• Men are focused on their careers. Family takes
second place.
• Men aren't emotional. In other words, they don't
care about anyone's feelings.
• Men will never see women as their equals in the
workplace, because they don't want them to be.
 Gender In Society
• These behaviors of men and women that are
considered socially appropriate are called gender
roles.
• Traditional gender roles are those behaviors seen
from men and women in those old movies.
• While there are many differences today, these
patterns of behavior have left an indelible impact
on society and our thoughts about men and
women.
• Gender roles are passed on through generations.
• From the age of three, children are able to start
becoming aware of the differences between girls
and boys based on the actions of the parents and
the nature of their environment.
• As the children grow a few years, they start
learning what behavior is appropriate and
expected.
• The behavior is reinforced when the parents
praise or reward their children for their actions.
They can also be punished and challenged to
change, if it's considered inappropriate.
