Topic – Why gender Discrimination Is Crime……
Introduction :-
Gender inequality, or in other words, gender discrimination refers to
unfair rights between male and female based on different gender roles
which leads to unequal treatment in life. The term gender inequality has
been widely known in human history but not until the beginning the 20th
century has the transformation of gender relations become “one of the
most rapid, profound social changes” (Wright & Rogers 2009).
And at the same time, the position of men and women were generally set.
The growth of this situation has been obviously seen. According to a
survey in America, female’s salary at work is 75% as low as male’s.
Coming back to last century, at work, when men were paid 1 dollar, the
amount that women received was just 58 cents, in accordance with the law
in 1963 . And in Vietnam, gender inequality is shown in the difference
between two genders in the number of babies. Statistics of Ministry of
Planning & Investment in 2010 reported that there were 110.6 new-born
boys out of 100 new-born girls which was much higher than in the past.
However, as a matter of fact, gender discrimination has made a big
argument in society about whether the equality among genders should be
encouraged or not. Regarding to this problem, American people seem to
appreciate the position of women, meanwhile, the Chinese tend to think
of higher power of men in life.
2. Thus, this paper, with the purpose of reporting the current states of
gender inequality, its impacts as well as the solutions to improve this
trend, will give readers another look at this controversial problem.
Discussion of findings
What is gender inequality?
Gender inequality is a social problem which causes unfair treatment in
society between different genders. These dissimilarities are distinguished
from biological factors, especially from differing reproductive roles in life
(Reeves & Baden 2000). This misperception comes originally from the
wrong understanding about the position of each gender in life.
Nowadays, the paradox that makes women suffer adversities and put
women into unpleasant situation is seen in every angle of life. However,
the method of gender discrimination in one place differs from that in
others. For example, in workplace gender inequality accelerates when
entering the job racing, not only the dissimilar salary, inequality at work is
3. demonstrated through the differences between genders and the amount of
money paid (Hsu 2012). In the aspect of education, in the past, men are
prone to have more chances to go to school. Young women seemed to
have fewer opportunities for higher education than young men.
Regarding to the reasons and the origin of gender inequality, it can be
seen that Asia would be the place where gender discrimination has
seemed to be a “tradition”. According to the General office for population
family planning, the idea of distinguishing men from women came from
the impacts of Confucianism and the awareness of people about life. Men
were thought to have a duty of continuing the ancestral line. In that
society, not having a son meant to be disrespectful towards the ancestor.
4. Going on with this wrong conception, women are more likely to lose the
role in community.
How gender inequality affects lives?
Initially, gender inequality has effects on the scale of population.
According to statistics of the General office for population family planning
, because of the discrimination of genders, the number of new-born boys
and girls is unequal. To some people, the hope to have a son loses the
balance between two genders. Unfortunately, this situation has occurred
for such a long time, so the impacts of it in the population are rather huge.
As report of Ministry of public health, it is estimated that, despite the
attempt to reduce the fluctuation between the birth of boys and girls, in
2020 there will be 4.3 million men more than women. Minister of
ministry of public health statement (cited in Phuong 2012), said that if this
trend still keeps on going, it will lead to quite a few consequences in
security and the order of society before marriage age of children because
there will lack brides resulting from out-numbered new-born boys from
girls. Now we can see an obvious consequence among the Chinese.
According to a Blue Paper on Society released by the China Academy of
Social Science, there will run short of brides in ten years because of severe
gender imbalance among young people, particularly among under 19-aged
people.
5. Secondly, the discrimination of genders leads to some problems in
education. Education is an important tool, is the key to the growth of
human. And no matter what gender a person is, he has right to expose to
education like others. Chaudhry & Rahman , reported that “there are
many empirical evidences that, increase in female education improves
human development outcomes such as child survival, health and
schooling”. However, “lower female education had a negative impact on
economic growth as it lowered the average level of human capital”. World
Bank in 2001 stated that in almost all poor countries, there is a high trend
of educational impacts of gender inequality. In poverty, girls are more
likely to be influenced to approach education.
Finally, economy is the field that is consequently affected, because there is
a link between education and economy. The impact of gender inequality
on economy is found through the number of male and female students in
primary and secondary school which is negative. And they claimed that “a
large gap in male and female schooling may signify backwardness and may
therefore be associated with lower economic growth”( Barro and Lee
(1994) and Barro and Sala-i-Martin (1995)). And let’s take China- a
country which is famous for strong gender imbalance all over the world- as
an example of modeling the impact of gender imbalances on economic
performance (Golley &Tyers 2012). As mentioned earlier, China is facing
a lack of brides 10 years to go and this trend leads to the problems of
women purchasing crime. Especially men in poor provinces now are
exposing to “marriage market” and this situation makes “the black market
of “selling wife”” on the rise, said the deputy director of the China
Population Association- Tian Xueyuan (cited Tang 2010). Another
economic impact of gender discrimination is unequal wages among male
and female. According to Yang Juhua, a professor with Renmin
University, the wages of women is much lower than men’s despite the
same level of position (cited Tang 2010). Tang also mentioned the
chances to get a job of women are smaller and there is more likelihood of
being refused on applying for jobs.
6. How to solve this problem?
Ninety-three years ago, people in some places in the world first officially
celebrated the International women’s day. In ninety three years, there
have been a lot of changes made in terms of changing attitudes of people
about the inequality of genders. Nowadays we are living in a developed
world which is contributed by both men and female so why female have
to suffer such that inequality which they don’t deserve to?
Generally speaking, this kind of inequality has existed for a long time and
in every area of the world, no matter where it is (Chang n.d.). Now it’s
time for the world together make this out-of-date conception fade away.
To some extent, the Nobel Committee stated that we cannot reach
democracy and peace unless we wouldn’t give equal rights and chances for
women have. For the sake of making economic recovery, U.S. Secretary
of State Hillary Clinton claimed that promoting women to participate in
economy and increasing their productivity is the key to economic growth
because it will create an effect on “the competitiveness and growth of our
economies.” (cited Sharma & Keefe 2011).
7. In the relationship between economy and education, people cannot
underestimate the importance of education. To flourish the economy
system, people have to make an effort on schooling. Regarding to the
solutions to this, setting up gender-sensitive schools is a crucial step in
making a nice environment for learning and teaching. Helping female feel
more confident in studying, improving a gender-sensitive curriculum
which reflects national policy on gender equality to instruct is also
necessary (Clarke 2005, p.11)
Conclusion
From all the discussing above, gender inequality is obviously an urgent
problem in the world. Despite the fact that its volume much decreases, it
still exists and makes a lot of people suffer its consequences every day.
And there are many reasons leading to gender discrimination which
cannot be solved easily. However, with education and progressive
thoughts of people, there are also reasons to trust in the future of gender
inequality being stopped. Then, hopefully, people can live in fairness no
matter what gender they are.
