Dricrimination of Women in the Family and in the Healthcare System

Women have been discriminated for a long time, but even today. Women are discriminated against by families and medical institutions. Women are fewer than men and are considered not seriously considered. Susan Lehrer's "Family and Female Life" and Alix Kates Shulman's "Marriage Agreement" give an example in this regard. When talking about families, people tend to have an image of a nuclear family; two heterosexual parents and two children. In this family, mothers take care of their homes, children, and her own work while the father works.

In health care in particular, women should be at the forefront at the center. Mothers pay close attention to women's medical expenses throughout their lives. For those who become mothers or carers (even children or elderly), medical expenses of themselves and dependents are the main economic responsibility. Even if women deal with gender wage disparities, responsible mothers often have time to quit their jobs, so loss of income. In addition to being a major family caregiver, women are financially burdened when they join the labor force. Single women account for 25% of families with children, but the number of American women 's Bread Winners is steadily increasing. According to the US Progress Center, in 2015, 42% of mothers were the only or most supportive family in the family - blacks and Latin American mothers are more likely to be the only bread winners

Women are the main medical decision makers of the family, accounting for 78% of medical professionals. However, women are not much participating in the executive leadership team throughout the medical industry. None of the 45 healthcare companies ranked in Fortune 500 have a leadership team that reflects the leading role of women in family and healthcare. Rock Health published a research report in January 2016 that introduced the segmentation of women's leadership in the healthcare industry. Meanwhile, advances have been made in the field of growth of CEOs of female digital health care companies, but they still dominate other areas such as hospital administrators. Of the top 100 hospitals at Fortune 500's top hospital, only 8 hospitals have women as CEOs
