Hi, I am Jamesxiang Tianyu. I am a multi-talented person who is capable in Math, music and sport and besides joining Math Club, I would also like to pursue My interest further in basketball as first of all, I am 189cm tall without wearing shoes that I believe I can contribute significantly to basketball team. The second reason is because I can alleviate my stress from a mountain of homework and I can feel refreshed when I return home to study as well to prepare for the next day. I was also in the basketball team in China for two years and I used to be the vice captain of the team. I was also in the basketball team in my secondary school as my second cca for two months and my teammates and I played against various schools. Mu journey with basketball started when I was two months old, when my grandparents often brought me to a basketball court in a university in China to practise shooting, as well as taking me to Walmart to dribble the basketball. I hope I can join the team and bring glories to RI, as well as learning useful techniques from other Rafflesian basketball players to hone my basketball skills even further!

It’s been thought that once industries achieve gender balance, bias will decrease and gender gaps will close. Sometimes called the “add women and stir” approach, people tend to think that having more women present is all that’s needed to promote change. But simply adding women into a workplace does not change the organizational structures and systems that benefit men more than women. Our new research (to be published in a forthcoming issue of Personnel Review) shows gender bias is still prevalent in gender-balanced and female-dominated industries.

Companies with women CFOs were also perceived as less risky bets by investors and were more profitable. Looking across the entire 17-year period, the study found that the women CFOs' companies, during their tenures, generated a combined $1.8 trillion more in gross profits than their sector averages. For example, one of the firms with a female CFO generated $208.6 million in gross profits in a given quarter. That was nearly $33 million more than the $175.7 million average gross profit for companies in the same sector.

There is an average 10-12% performance gap between elite males and elite females.  The gap is smaller between elite females and non-elite males, but it’s still insurmountable and that’s ultimately what matters.  Translating these statistics into real world results, we see, for example, that:

Just in the single year 2017, Olympic, World, and U.S. Champion Tori Bowie's 100 meters lifetime best of 10.78 was beaten 15,000 times by men and boys.  (Yes, that’s the right number of zeros.)

The same is true of Olympic, World, and U.S.  Champion Allyson Felix’s 400 meters lifetime best of 49.26.  Just in the single year 2017, men and boys around the world outperformed her more than 15,000 times.

As of 1 January 2023, there are 31 countries where 34 women serve as Heads of State and/or Government. At the current rate, gender equality in the highest positions of power will not be reached for another 130 years. Just 17 countries have a woman Head of State, and 19 countries have a woman Head of Government. First-time compiled data by UN Women show that women represent 22.8 percent of Cabinet members heading Ministries, leading a policy area as of 1 January 2023. There are only 13 countries in which women hold 50 percent or more of the positions of Cabinet Ministers leading policy areas. The five most commonly held portfolios by women Cabinet Ministers are Women and gender equality, followed by Family and children affairs, Social inclusion and development, Social protection and social security, and Indigenous and minority affairs.

Women are 50 per cent more likely to receive a wrong initial diagnosis when they are having a heart attack.

Over a ten-year period, it is estimated that more than 8,200 heart attack deaths in women in England and Wales could have been prevented if they had received the same standard of care as men. The study found women were less likely to receive standard treatments including bypass surgery and stents.

Women often receive poorer aftercare, following a heart attack. A BHF-funded study showed that women in England and Wales were 2.7% less likely to be prescribed statins and 7.4% less likely to be prescribed beta blockers, despite proven benefits regardless of gender

Men who deviate from the masculine norm within the athletic culture often face ridicule, harassment, or physical violence. Stereotypes are a concern because people act on them, exaggerating minimal gender differences and restricting opportunities.

1. There are approximately 774 million illiterate adults in the world and two-thirds of them are women. There are approximately 123 million illiterate youths and 61 percent of them are girls. Women’s share in the illiterate population has not budged in 20 years. These facts not only affect women but their children as well. A child born to a mother with the ability to read is 50 percent more likely to survive past age five.

Women make up only 28% of the workforce in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), and men vastly outnumber women majoring in most STEM fields in college. The gender gaps are particularly high in some of the fastest-growing and highest-paid jobs of the future, like computer science and engineering.

There is a “broken rung” at the manager level: “For every 100 men promoted to manager, only 86 women are promoted.” This problem is compounded at higher levels of leadership: fewer women managers means there are fewer candidates to promote to heads of department, directors, and C-suite positions, too. You can see this lack of representation clear as day: 62% of C-suite positions are held by white men, compared with 20% taken up by white women (greater than the 13% occupied by men of color) and a mere 4% by women of color.

In a report, "The Landscape of Children's Television in the U.S. and Canada," written mostly in order to reach the professionals creating children's content for television, Danga Lemish and Dr. Colleen Russo Johnson found data revealing gender inequality in both the content children watch – and are greatly influenced by – and in the industry creating the content.

Their research reveals that in television shows geared toward children aged two to 12, 64% of male characters are still dominant on the screen, particularly for non-human characters (72%) and female human characters were more racially diverse (46%) than male human characters (25%).

Fundamentalist Islamic culture:
Since the takeover of Afghanistan by the Taliban in August 2021, women have been wholly excluded from public office and the judiciary. Today, Afghanistan’s women and girls are required to adhere to a strict dress code and are not permitted to travel more than 75 km without a mahram. They are compelled to stay at home.

Financial and economic empowerment is one of the key factors in keeping the gender balance…well…out of balance. A 2020 World Economic Forum (WEF) report suggests that, if we keep at our current pace of correcting this imbalance, it will be another 100 years until women receive equal pay for equal work.

The United States has a key position in the global science and engineering (S&E) enterprise. As S&E capacity has increased globally, the U.S. position has changed despite increases in the absolute amount of S&E activity in the United States. Although the United States was key in the rapid development of COVID-19 vaccines, the data in this report show the U.S.

Less than 40 percent of countries offer girls and boys equal access to education and only 39 percent of countries have equal proportions of the sexes enrolled in secondary education. By achieving universal primary and secondary education attainability in the adult population, it could be possible to lift more than 420 million people out of poverty. This would have its greatest effect on women and girls who are the most likely to never have stepped foot inside a school.

Even once girls are attending school, discrimination follows. One in four girls states that they never feel comfortable using school latrines. Girls are at greater risk of sexual violence, harassment and exploitation in school. School-related gender-based violence is another major obstacle to universal schooling and the right to education for girls.

Although 77 per cent of Japanese women work today —  a higher rate than the OECD average of 66 per cent — more than half of them are employed in non-regular roles. In comparison, less than a third of working men hold non-regular positions. ‘Non-regular’ work includes temporary, part-time or casual jobs that offer limited security, few benefits, low wages and low prestige.

Japanese women’s salaries hardly rise throughout their career. Men and women usually start working in their 20s, where they receive similar average monthly salaries of 214,600 and 209,200 yen (US$1600 and US$1560) respectively. By their late 50s, the average working Japanese man will be earning 420,100 yen (US$3130) per month, while his female counterpart will only be earning 271,100 yen (US$2020), a minor increase from her starting salary.

Female athletes often face significant pay gaps compared to their male counterparts. For instance, in professional tennis, female players receive lower prize money than male players, even in major tournaments such as Wimbledon.

Women’s sports are not nearly as marketed as men’s sports are. Sports Illustrated did a study on media coverage in sports. Women’s sports account for 5.7% of media coverage by ESPN. As well as 80% of sports news programs and highlights that this study analyzed covered zero stories on women’s sports.

A housewife is a woman whose role is running or managing her family's home—housekeeping, which includes caring for her children; cleaning and maintaining the home; making, buying and/or mending clothes for the family; buying, cooking, and storing food for the family; buying goods that the family needs for everyday life; partially or solely managing the family budget—and who is not employed outside the home. The male equivalent is the househusband. Women actively engage in the roles of baby-sitting the children and cooking at home.

Overall, men had much more education than women. Specifically, 62% of women received no schooling at all, compared to 31% of men. In addition, women had worse late-life cognition. The disparity in cognition between men and women was more pronounced at lower levels of education and for the oldest adults in the sample.

In terms of the ratio in primary (classes I-V) school enrolment, there are now 1.02 girls for every boy, from 0.41 girls in 1950-51. In upper primary (classes VI-VIII), there are 1.01 girls per boy. The literacy rate for females has gone from 8.9 per cent at the time of the first census in 1951 to 65.8 per cent in 2018.

Despite a shortage of skills in most of the technological fields driving the Fourth Industrial Revolution, women still account for only 28% of engineering graduates and 40% of graduates in computer science and informatics, according to the forthcoming UNESCO Science Report.

The report also highlights the fact that women are not benefitting fully from employment opportunities open to highly educated and skilled experts in cutting edge fields such as artificial intelligence where only one in five professionals (22%) is a woman, according to a 2018 study by the World Economic Forum on the Global Gender Gap.

Likewise, women founders of start-ups still struggle to access finance and, in large tech companies they remain underrepresented in both leadership and technical positions. They are also more likely than men to leave the tech field, often citing poor career prospects as a key motivation for their decision.
