Barriers to women in the workplace (leadership positions)

Debate Information

Women are 21 percent less likely than men to be promoted to the first level of management, according the report. And women don't have the same access as men to people in powerful positions that could boost their careers. The report also points to the often-discussed gender wage gap, which starts at the entry level. Massachusetts' equal pay law, which went into effect in June, aims to improve pay equity.

At the mid-career level, women often find themselves sidelined in support roles instead of in positions that are stepping stones to leadership, according to the report. And mid-career women also "disappear" from the career pipeline because family responsibilities fall on them more so than their male counterparts.

    Maybe most women just do not want to do jobs that mostly men do? Maybe they did not care to ascend to a higher position so they stopped persuading a career. And maybe they like to nurture their childreen so they do not work as hard at jobs as men.
    Men have to focus completely on their jobs,while women nowadays have to focus on both jobs and raising their child so naturally they cannot do both things so well. However,those women who persue just their careers,they will likely be good at them. Thanks to third wave feminism,now women and men have to work alot harder than before in order to be respected by the public. Now men are expected to have great careers and women are expected to have that too,plus take care of childreen. There is no wage gap, as a lot of successful women can state. You will get paid like the person next to you if you do as good a job.

    Women are less likely to be promoted based on individual performance.

    Considering most CEOs employ women who have no qualifications to do the job listed on a website, they wind up being employed by a company when they have zero expierience earning a high salary.

    Don't be one of those people trying to appeal to a women's sense of self-interest. You're going to get burned.

    If you've ever worked with women, you realize it's not sexist to state what everyone oberserves, they DONT work.

    It's equally to say they want to work and be independent when they don't.

    If women were INDEPENDANT and could take care of themselves and wanted to be alone they wouldn't

    1. Take any child that was born into a life they wouldn't include an adult person in

    How much less time do they have to give to a child if they have no time for a relationship

    2. Take any child support payments

    3.ever get married

    4.do zero work, wind up getting fired and suggest someone's sexist.

    The reason men don't employ women is because they collectively identify as feminists who don't work.

    To a women being a women assumes some social ideology that they have to be taken care of while claiming Independence.

    I'll tell you what. When you and an independent man go out do you pay for his food, no because he's INDEPENDANT.

    No one employs a person who wants to say they are INDEPENDANT and doesn't work.

    If you've ever been in charge of a women before, they are LAZY, LAZY. Don't do anything, complain, talk on their phone all day, get home from NOT working, Complain about their long hard day at work and then TALK on their phone for hours and talk about how bad life is, talk about how their boss is rude without mentioning it's because they didn't want to do the work in the job description, probably got reprimanded for it and then get bored when someone isn't shoving texts into their phone inbox.

    People were never created by Jesus to be independent. However, these modern women are useless for anything other than complaining.

    There are a few who Jesus has converted that aren't so bad but the majority should be homeless.

    If it wasn't for some pervert out there who didn't want to commit an act of sexual immorality, women would die out as a sex because of their lack of work ethic.

    Jesus is Lord.

    Second don't even think I care about being called sexist. Everyone realizes it but doesn't say a thing. I don't even know why people agree to this culture of favoring lazy people who complain about everything.

    Here's a little reality. Because women have pissed off a lot of men, a male HR employee won't hire them.

    Women make up the majority of HR departments and hire women.

    So what are you talking about even?

    @hsingh1234 Why do women occupy positions of power less than men? They simply don't want them as much. A feminist study suggests only 40% of women want senior leadership positions, opposed to 56% of men (1). Further, studies suggest that women value power less than men do and have lower level ideal positions (2). Men are also more likely to apply for positions they felt were above their qualifications and ability than females (3). Since confidence is linked to testosterone levels (4) this means that there are concrete biological reasons that more men are in positions of power than women.

    Why would such sex differences emerge? Women are more attracted to those of higher economic status, whereas men are more attracted to youth and beauty (5,6). This means that the male drive for greater status is motivated in part by their sexual drive. Those that are more motivated to do something are of course more likely to try to do it. In accordance with this, we would expect females to be more motivated than males to look better and spend more effort on their appearance, which is indeed the case (7). The male sex drive fuels a rise in status, while the female sex drive fuels greater attractiveness. This makes sense, because in our evolutionary past females needed a high status male to provide for her during pregnancy and early motherhood. As such, we evolved sexual preferences which maximize the survival rate of offspring via natural selection.

    As for the gender wage gap, it's merely a comparison of the average total wages earned by the groups male and female. It doesn't take into account extraneous variables such as hours worked, job role, qualifications, seniority/rank, tenure, agreeableness, etc. If you take a group of people who on average work less hours in less well paid fields, it is to be expected that they will get paid less on average than a group that on average works more hours in better paid fields.
