Consider the view that some careers are better suited to one gender than the

other

Some careers are pre-dominantly males while others are pre-dominantly

females without having much of a logical explanation. For instance, you are
more likely to see a babysitter, a caretaker or a nurse to be a female.
Conversely, the driver in the taxi or the security guard at the gate is expected
to be a male. It was after World War II that women began seeing themselves
going through tertiary education and entering the workforce just like any men
would do. By the end of the 1970s, more and more women expected not only
to be employed but to been given equal opportunities in their careers they had
chosen, with little or no bearing on their marriages or childbirths. In this light,
the question is: Why do people view that some careers are better suited to
one gender than the other? This question may be discussed and clarified by
the understanding of the traditional and cultural beliefs in the role of gender,
the gender perceptions and stereotypes in the work market, and, the
discrimination and equality of womens rights.

[Conclusion]

There is no lack of evidence that gender plays a role in career placements or

advancements. However, gender discrimination and stereotypes in any form
is a taboo in todays workplace and the society at large. The traditional and
cultural beliefs of the genders roles are mostly tempered, if not eroded, in the
age and speed of the social media era. As the view that some careers are
better suited to one gender than the other has become less conspicuous, it
will be left to the current generation of people, advocates and governments to
pursue and promote the outdating and abolishment of the gender gap in
career opportunities and limitations. Any such realization should be
accompanied by a radical change in attitude based on the principle of
competence and meritocracy.
