Women at work today

I had to do a project on Women at work and I thought it would be important to discuss about how some women still face obstacles today. I haven't realized how women still face discrimination in some parts of the world and how they still don't have equal rights as men in work. With obstacles such as discrimination, lower wages, and the lack of management positions, it’s hard for women to compete with men. Women of work is one of the important topics to discuss about, from day to day people don’t realize many obstacles that women faced. Today, women work in nearly every occupation, including astronauts, senators, physicians, surgeons, lawyers and other positions of prestige and importance. Ask any woman if it was difficult to get where she is today and she will tell you that she faced many obstacles that men do not face. Women often face discrimination before they get to their chosen occupation. In many colleges and universities, there is a lack of role models for young women.Men feel that they have lost interest in their jobs and are no longer dependable. When a crisis arises at home, women will leave their jobs and tend to take care of their children. This is not the way, men think, to act. The paying job is all important and cannot be abandoned at any time.For the woman returning to work after being a mother for many years, the path is hard. Unless there is need for a second income, men do not understand why their wife wants to work. There is no emotional support for them if they don't find work in their field because men feel it's not something they need to do. Because they have not kept up with advances in their field, women may not be hired at all. If they are hired, they may be forced into a path within the industry that has no future Women are still facing some obstacles today such as earning an average of 72 cents for every dollar that a man is earning. Such problems can be solved if employers start realizing the inequality that women are still facing and are acting upon them.
