Social Gender Inequality (USA)

I found out "Gender Inequality" pretty attract me when I was doing some research on this.
The information that I saw online had changed some of my value on this topic.
Many people think that there isn't any big difference treatment between men and women in the U.S. nowadays. However, there are still some issues that indicate the inequality between men and women!
Today I am going to show the truth of inequality issue in the U.S.

WORKFORCE-

As of 2012, the world economic forum ranked the United States 22nd  best in terms of  gender equality out of 135 countries. In 2013, ranked at 23rd. Although United States are in the top 30 rank, they still have some inequality between men and women on work place. For instance, Women and men face huge disparities at the office. In the U.S., female workers are still paid only 79¢ for every dollar their male colleagues make.

EDUCATION-

Nowadays, far more young women than men obtain bachelor’s degrees in the US: 36%, compared to 28% for guys, according to the Pew Research Center.

Moreover, most men in the same age, on the other hand, don’t go back to school and are more likely to accept whatever jobs come their way. The Times notes that in the last two years, the number of women aged “18 to 24 in school rose by 130,000, compared with a gain of 53,000 for young men.”

HOME LIFE-

Nowadays, more and more women and men share the housework together. The contribution of men to housework and childcare has grown significantly over the past 25 years, but is still far below women’s contribution. So many working women continue to have two jobs—one in the workplace and one at home. 

PARENTING-

Researchers from the University of Michigan have found that from 1970 to 1985, the percentage of men and women who supported traditional social roles for wives and believed that maternal employment damages mother-child relationships or children's development decreased. Similarly, University of Connecticut found that men's support the idea that men should be the sole source of income in a married couple decreased from 32 to 21 percent from 1972 to 1989; in practice only 15 percent of households were supported by a male spouse's income alone at the time of the study.
