Many of you may not remember a
time when women were raised to have children and men were raised to be the
breadwinner. If men went to college, their field of focus was usually math
or science whereas women were expected to move into the field of education or
nursing. Many women were expected to get a secretarial job, work until
they found a husband so they could have children and be a house
wife. Fast forward to the present, the workplace is different as are
the expectations for men and women.

Hsu (2011) discussed that in 1980 more
women enrolled in college than men. Even today more women than men pursue
a higher education, receive a greater number of honor degrees and earn a
BachelorΓ’ΒΒs degree (Hsu, 2011). Women are showing they are equal to men in
the academic world but once they enter the job market, women earn 80 cents on
the dollar of what a man earns despite having equal qualifications if not
better (Hsu, 2011). This difference is attributed to gender
differences. For example, Hsu (2011) claims that the lack of wage parity
is not due to differences in qualifications that create the gap in earnings but
is caused by gender because the workplace is inherently biased against women
through stereotyping and expectations of womenΓ’ΒΒs roles and their actions.
