Explaining Gender Segregation

As the title suggest, we shall be discussing the accounts of gender segregation, why does it take place, what occurs as a consequence, and whether the occurrence is positive or negative. Now for the undertaking of having significant accounts of making the product market more precise and concurrent, gender segregation is basically considered an inevitable phenomenon.

This is because professions undertaken, jobs availed, products and tangible goods manufactured and intangible services that are being intended to current and potential customers will always have their limited and restricted portfolio; for instance, whenever we discuss the job or profession of a nurse or receptionist, the first thing that hits our mind is a female figure or a women dressed petite, yet modest and servicing the clients coming in or patients who have to come to being treated at a hospital.

Whilst on the other hand, when talking about people involved in distribution and logistics, engineers and scientists, we generally view the perception of men in our minds. This is because for centuries and beyond, there have been people who have irrevocably and iterated contributed to these fields single-handedly.

In countries with low levels of Gross Domestic Product, such as many of the African states, the degree of segregation is often quite small. However, in the wealthy industrialized countries of the world the levels of segregation are all at least moderately high. In this study, we accordingly consider the balance of thoughts, knowledge, emotional components and feelings of women and men in relation to equal opportunities, in short their attitudes. Although it is possible that awareness of gender issues prevents the majority of men from expressing unpopular views, it seems unlikely that the majority of women do likewise, especially in an anonymous research investigation. Alternatively, of course, it could be assumed that the responses of women and men are politically correct, as respondents said what they thought they should say to avoid offence. Yet political correctness is dependant upon an actor being aware of the opinion they ought to give. Yet the action of men and, especially women, at least of those in Sweden, do not entirely reflect neo-liberal ideas. For that matter neither do the attitudes of each individual actor. It therefore seems likely that the information provided in the survey is indeed a reliable indicator of the knowledge, balance of thoughts, expectations and experience of each individual actor that neo-liberalism is circumscribed. Somewhat contradictory findings might be expected; people after all may well say one thing and then do another. But the findings do suggest that gender issues are in the minds of our respondents, even if they appear to co-exist in contradictory ways under the influence of neo-liberalism, suggesting the need for further exploration that sets their responses in context as they shift between understandings of gender equity and the experience of inequity in their daily lives.
