The graduate in search of employment may face gender discrimination, a challenge that persists throughout their career. This issue can be attributed to several underlying causes:
1. Historical Roots: Deep-seated societal beliefs that men are inherently superior to women have perpetuated gender discrimination. Expressions like "women and the villain are hard to raise" or the preference for male heirs reflect this bias. Such traditional mindsets, despite being outdated, continue to influence contemporary attitudes and can be seen in job advertisements that exhibit gender bias.
2. Social Norms: A prevailing culture that has not yet fully embraced respect for women contributes to discrimination. The dominance of male principles in society undervalues women's contributions and often confines them to supportive roles rather than leadership positions. This can be observed in policies like earlier retirement ages for women (at 55) compared to men (at 60). Such societal misguidance underpins the gender discrimination that persists in job postings today.
