Gender stereotypes impel women to spend 2 to 10 times more time on unpaid household work than men

Gender Stereotypes and Their Outcome Women are globally participating in paid wage and self-employment but the social dynamics prevailing for decades compel unequal distribution of household work, especially in the Indian social construct.  There is a misestimation of the importance of the well-being of the family which is highly dependent on female members at home resulting in a higher burden and lowered self-realization among women in Indian social dynamics.

  Inclusive employment is the future of work “Leave no one behind” According to the International labor organization, a human-centered future of work can be fulfilled when every individual is included in the world of work. Studies show that LGBTQ, women of color, and the disabled often face discrimination and violation of employee rights at workplaces across the globe.  Inclusive employment is much talked about at large organizations but the deeply embedded discrimination creates certain prejudices and mistreatment even in today’s times.
