Sample Essay on Examples of Gender Inequality in the
U.K
Gender inequality is a common problem in most countries of the world,
developed and third world. Among these countries is the United
Kingdom, which grapples with an array of issues relating to gender
disparities in various sectors. Common areas of discrimination include
education, health, politics, leadership, employment and criminality
among others. This essay discusses examples of gender inequity in the
UK.
In understanding gender inequality in UK, it is important to note that
the role of women and how the society perceives them have
continuously changed throughout history. For instance, women were
considered inactive in 1950s as compared to their active role in the
modern world. In the UK, the work of women is undervalued, leading to
their underpayment. Should this be happening even in the 21st
century?
Initiatives to empower women have thrived recently but these gender-
based imbalances still exist in the UK.
A common disparity is evident in salaries where women earn thousands
of dollars less than men. For example, research estimates that women
in UK earn up to £5,000 less compared to what men earn. The ultimate
effect of this trend is economic failure. In a research conducted by the
Trade Union Congress, it emerged that women are underpaid in 32 out
of 35 leading occupations in the country. From these findings, it was
discovered that the health sector is tops the lists of sections of the
economy that promoted gender discrimination in payment. According
to the findings, men in the health sector earn about £50, as compared
to female workers earning £24, which is almost half their earnings.
While this can seem negligible, it accumulates throughout the career of
a woman.
Many UK activists believe that underpay of women workers is ridiculous
when girls continue to outshine boys in schools and universities. This
has a long-term economic failure as the country does not tap and
appreciate the skills and talent of female employees. Besides the health
sector, women equally experience pay imbalance when working in the
media industry. This adds up to 27.5%, which translates into about
£10,000 annually. On the other hand, the inequality in the
manufacturing industry is about 24%. The irony in leading occupations
is that women earn more than men, as electricians, transport drivers
and agricultural workers. While this is the case, theses occupations are
largely dominated by men. Out of all the employees in the three
sectors, only 50,000 are women while more than 1.5 million are men.
The situation is not different in the private sector, where gender
disparity is at 19.9% compared to 13.6% pay gap in the public service.
The situation is even worse for women employed as part time workers
as they earn 35% less per hour compared to men employed on full-time
basis.
Women also experience domestic violence propagated by men because
of the gender inequality transcending the nation. According to survey,
on average, two women are murdered in cold blood every week in the
UK by their violent partners or ex-lovers. Rape is also rampant in the
country, with over three million women experiencing rape and other
forms of violence against women each year.
