Gender pay/wage gap on the workplace
Abstract
This paper focuses on the persistence of the worldwide gender gap and it implications for a society as a whole. If you have read this thesis you will be able to have an perspective of why there is a gender pay gap? How did it exist? And when will it be extradited? And more. There are many companies that prefer men over woman while hiring someone. Do we do this on purpose, or is it just instinct? There will be many questions and even more answers to this phenomenal international problem.
Since 1970 wage inequity is growing worldwide, yet another measure of inequity, the difference between woman and men's wages, had been declining. Over the past century, American woman have made tremendous strides in increasing their labor market experience and their skills. In 2015 women held for 47% of the labor force and they hold 49.3 percent of jobs( because women are more likely to hold two or more jobs). Yet on average female-full time workers made only 79 cents for every dollar men made, a gender wage gap of 21 percent.

To what extent does gender affect income gaps in different types of organizations in India
A little indication about what should be writing under each subject
Introduction:
- why it is important Relevance? Practical?
what is the purpose statement?
- what do we know about it.
- what we don't know about it → from here we get the research question.
- Relevance of research question.
Motivate the choice of the topic ( I'm an Indian man)
- Indicate the practical and theoretical relevance
- Formulate your problem statement and research question (RQ) and a set of sub-research questions (SRQ) which follow from the research question.
Theoretical framework
- different kind of theory about the subject, that will be used to anser the research question.
-institutional theory
-separate theory chapters
Literature review
- What is hrm?
- Information about india gender proportion and more
- Introduce to all chapters
- explain the reader
Analysis apply theoretical framework and literature review
Discuss the results of the theoretical findings, answer the questions and write an advice for an organization based on your theoretical findings and the problem statement
Discuss the relevant literature and connect the relevant theories.
Structure the chapters in a way that your thinking can be followed.
Conclusion
-theoretical implications
-Purpose study
-Practical implications
-Future research if possible→ something which isn't research which can be research in the future→ empirical research to do in the future
This is what the teacher is looking at it might help u with working on it. I also have to give a presentation but that I will do later.
