Read the following passage and answer the questions below in complete sentences:
Although economic roles between men and women have become more similar over
time, sex differences are still prevalent and tensions still exist in the workplace.
Organizations across countries are increasingly implementing nondiscriminatory hiring
practices where women are given opportunities equal to men. We do find that there are
certain types of jobs such as those of police officers, fire fighters, truck drivers, etc.,
which are generally preferred by men, and there are other occupations like nursing,
teaching, etc., which are preferred by women. These are personal preferences which
may be dictated by nature or the way boys and girls are nurtured. However, it is the
duty of organizations to give equal opportunities to people of both sexes, based only on
a person’s credentials.
Although the number of women in all types of work fields has been steadily rising, there
is still a gap between women and men regarding compensation for producing similar
work in many fields. Also since women are the primary care givers at home, the entire
workforce needs to be sensitized to certain needs that may arise from time to time as a
result of the dual role they are necessitated to play throughout life. Additionally, their
vulnerability where personal security is concerned needs to be understood and taken
care of.
