The labour sexual division remains even technological inovation has been introduced, questionning social science explanations. The discrimination between male and female labor is nowadays based on required knowledge for qualification. The social construction lies on discussion that to be female is a negative point in work qualification. There are studies where there is a hard oposition to women employees as tram driver and well as in the technical qualified work. It would be a contribution to reflection on both male and female work place. The atitude against “female invasion” is an attempt to defend work space either individual or colective one.
Job segregation— the tendency for men and women to work in different occupations—is often cited as the reason that women's wages lag men's. But this begs the question: What is it about women's job that causes them to pay less? One can argue that emotional labour offers the missing link in the explanation. Tasks that require the emotive work thought natural for women, such as caring, negotiating, empathizing,smoothing troubled relationships, and working behind the scenes to enable cooperation, are required components of many women's jobs. Excluded from job descriptions and performance evaluations, the work is invisible and uncompensated.

Well it is frustrating, as now a days there still is a distinction between men and women regarding to getting a job. We live in a society that did not evolve so much from the old days in this matter.
ResponderEliminarWe have to make people see that both men and women have equal rights in everything when we are referring to getting a fair and equal job...
