Pros:
-Diversity
-Higher profitability
-Business growth
Cons:
-Declining fertility rates
This is only natural as nowadays nearly 60 percent of families have both parents employed and therefore women work much more than they used in the 1960s. In the United States, the total fertility rate (TFR) declined to 1.9 births per woman in 2010 from 2.0 births per woman in 2009 (by 5%), whereas similar decreases have been reported in several European countries as well.
-Lower wages, lower benefits
Conclusion:
-Women have invested more time and effort in honing their skills than getting married and having families
-have efficiently managed to bring innovation in the corporate

    As men left their factory jobs to go fight in World War II (WWII), women stepped into their jobs to produce the heavy machinery needed for war and at home to keep the country running. An excerpt from the book The Life and Times of Rosie the Riveter spoke of a young machinist, Celia Saparsteen Yanish, and the transition that women had to make into their jobs doing “men’s work.” Before the war, this country was battling an unemployment problem brought on by the Great Depression. The start of WWII erased this problem, as increased production was needed to produce war supplies and goods necessary during a time of war. Because men were both working and fighting in the war, there were more jobs available than could be filled by men. As new employment opportunities became available,…

    Then we enter the baby boom period and things change a bit. Post war was during 1945 through 1960 and the troops came home. Marriage rates increased and the birth rate was through the roof(Norton, 839). Since families were growing the women now needed to stay home. When we entered the 1950’s people were getting married younger and families became the main focus. During this period is when I see the biggest change in gender roles. Women before this were trying to do the same things as men, have rights and be independent. They basically take a few steps back. While a good portion of women did work during this time, they were still responsible for the household duties and the children. Women who did work work faced discrimination. There would help wanted signs asking specifically for a male or a female(Norton, 860).…

In 1920, women made up 23.6 percent of the labor force; by 1940, this percentage had risen to 25.4. Some advances were made in working women's rights, but during the Great Depression, many female workers lost their jobs or were forced to accept severe cuts in pay. Despite the economic difficulties of the period, some outstanding businesswomen achieved great commercial success. In the 1930s, despite the fact that women were a big part of the society, they were not treated equally in the workplace compared to their male counterparts.…

    Gender Wage Gap in the U.S

    • 5 Pages

    Over history, after World War, I women had to take men’s work in factories till men came back from war. In addition, The National War Labor Board in 1942 agreed that they had to pay women and men equally for the same work and hours of work, but when men came back from war this did not happened and women had to leave their jobs to make room for men’s work. Thus, until 1960, newspapers presented articles to encourage women to take specific jobs different than men. For example, the New York Times published a wide amount of articles about homemaking to motivate women to stay at home and serve their husband and family. Besides, the different pay scales already existed, women with full time jobs gained between 59 and 64 cents from a dollar that men earned in the same job.…

    Wage Gap In America

    • 991 Words
    • 4 Pages

    The rate at which the wage gap is decreasing currently is not reflective of the progressive times we are supposedly living in. Ideally, we would have already reached equality, but that is not yet available. In the United States, the average envisioned time for the end of the wage difference is 2058. The state farthest away from equity is Wyoming, predicted to reach equality in 2159. The earliest state is Florida, with a predicted year of 2038 (Paquette). Equality within age groups has improved in the last 35 years. In 1979, 25 to 34 year old women earned only 68% of a man’s salary, this percentage has grown to 92% in 2011. Forty five to 54 year old women, however, only earned 57% in 1979, but this percentage has also grown but only to 76% (“Preface”). The average of women’s salaries showed that in 1980 they earned 60.2 cents per dollar a man earned. That has since joyously increased to 78.2 cents per dollar in 2013. Men’s salaries, however, have stagnated…
