Effects of Family Responsibilities and Discrimination on the Career Progress of Women

INTRODUCTION Writh pointed out that women are increasingly active in economic activities but women's representatives in senior management are still inadequate. She supported this argument and pointed out that 40% of the labor force is composed of women. However, as the highest manager, only 20% are women (Writh 2001). This is due to several obstacles that interfere with the effective function of women. Family responsibilities and stereotypes that lead to gender discrimination may be the most remarkable factor.

Discrimination based on family responsibility (FRD), also known as caregiver discrimination, is based on employment discrimination against workers in family care responsibilities. Pregnant women, infant mothers and fathers, lactating women, and older parents or spouse or partner employees of the disease may experience FRD. Despite their outstanding achievements, they may be denied employment, postponed promotion, demotion, harassment, or dismissal.

Discrimination in the workplace is still a fact of life for many women. On average, women can only receive 80% of men's wages. Because of family responsibilities, women are still facing discrimination in respect of salary and obstacles to promotion and promotion. Some employers have not yet received information on sexual harassment. For women working at low wage jobs, these problems are more complicated as they are afraid of losing their jobs when they handle unfair or illegal handling. Employment of women increases legal protection and strengthens existing legislation - ensures that laws are effectively enforced - more important than ever

One of the reasons: Despite decades of social progress, women still have the largest share of family and parenting responsibilities. Girls learn how to choose between family and occupation from a young age. When announcing that a couple expects children, they ask women about her work and family handling; men do not hear the same problem. Two or more female CEOs said that the greatest determinant of her success is a cooperative partner. "We are teams," says Wal-Mart's Wal-Mart. Walmart's husband is managing the company at home while taking care of three children. "If I can not get his support, I will not work," Sandborn agreed. "In the end, the most important thing for ambitious women seems to be supportive cooperation.

Occupational confusion and fertility rate have a great impact on career development. For childbirth, women are more likely to be more responsible for care of their children due to carrier disruption. This means that women have less professional experience than men of the same age and may be more difficult to tackle tougher and more time-consuming tasks. In addition, the vast majority of occupational confusion usually occurs when numerous career developments are made during the first decade of the labor market.
