Work is a social institution that is not gender neutral. It is often understood as a masculine institution where work and career are central to male identity. There are expectations that men will work full-time to support their families financially. In contrast, women face greater stigma if they work full-time and must rely on childcare instead of caring for children themselves. Women also tend to work in lower paying "pink collar" jobs and face an unexplained wage gap compared to men even when controlling for factors like occupation and experience. Research has shown organizational structures are not gender neutral and help reproduce unequal treatment and cultural perceptions of gender that constrain women's opportunities and advancement.
Work is a social institution that is not gender neutral. Certain types of work and expectations of work differ between sexes. Work is often understood as a masculine institution, where a man's identity and status is tied to his employment, while women face greater stigma if they work rather than care for family. There are also wage gaps between men and women, with women earning less even with similar qualifications and experience. Organizational structures are often not gender neutral and can disadvantage women through issues like segregation of work and unequal pay and status.

an antenna to facilitate communication with the
RFID chip
A reader/antenna system to interrogate the
RFID inlay
Application software and a host computer
