Current and Possible Future Roles of Men and Women in the Workplace



Current and Possible Future Roles of Men and Women in the Workplace

Introduction

The main aim of this paper is to discuss current and possible future roles of men and women at workplace. The report based on the analysis of the statement given below. This report provides an overview of current research related to the relationship between work demands, with a special emphasis on shift work, quality of life indicators and health outcomes. Consistent with the human, ecological viewpoint, individuals cannot be studied without recognizing the importance of the system within which those individuals are living. Literature examines how employees' work demands can affect family relationships and family members' health and well-being will also be included in this review (Buren, 2004). When reviewing the literature on work-family balance and health, it was evident that there are gender differences for workers with regards to impacts of shift work and work-family balance issues.

Even in up to date times, those vigorously claiming the standard of human equality have interrogated if components for example, gender, communal class, rush, ethnicity, or belief should disqualify concern of an individual as human.

The objection to the judiciary's role in interpreting bills of rights also overstates the democratic credentials of parliaments in modern liberal democracies, which are inclined to support majoritarian or populist opinions hostile to minorities. It is misleading to characterise this kind of populism as democratic, as the idea of democracy is not based solely on representation of majority views, but incorporates respect for individual freedom and equality, and the right of every individual to contribute to the political process (Stid, & Bradach, 2009). On the other hand, the fact a country has a bill of rights does not automatically ensure that rights are impartially protected or widely realised. Issues such as unequal access to justice, judicial bias in the interpretation of rights, the demotion of rights or interests that do not receive bill of rights protection, and the degree to which rights are construed as antagonistic, all impact on the enjoyment of rights. Nor is it clear that foundational values such as human dignity are best realised in the form of individual rights. Equality of rights between men and women must be regarded as a fundamental ...
