Women are often seen today, to be paid less than men, despite having to carry out the same work duties and do the same work load. Women in the past, are often deprived of their right to work and would usually stay at home to do household chores while men will go out and work. Even though women, today, have caught up with men in terms of education, the problem arises when young adults try to balance work and family, resulting in women, having to put more time into these household activities as compared to men. This is a great disadvantage to women in the workplace.

An example of gender inequality can be seen from how there are only 23 out of 239 VC-backed unicorn companies across the world which have female founders. Furthermore, in every 100 men who are promoted to manager level, only 79 women are promoted. This difference highlights how gender inequality is prevalent in our society today.
As shown on the graph above, males have a higher annual income than women in every aspect despite receiving the same level of education attainment. This states the unfair treatment of women in the workplace.
