Michael Kimmel: Why gender equality is good for everyone - men included

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Yes, we all know it's the right thing to do. But Michael Kimmel makes the surprising, funny, practical case for treating men and women equally in the workplace and at home. It's not a zero-sum game, but a win-win that will result in more opportunity and more happiness for everybody.

Every year, on March 8, we celebrate International Women's Day. Much is discussed about women's struggles for equality in the world, including at home and in the workplace. This year's theme for International Women's Day was, "Women in the Changing World of Work: Planet 50-50 by 2030." Unfortunately, we still have work to do for gender equality.

UN Women, the United Nations body focused on the empowerment of women, indicated that "The world of work is changing, with significant implications for women. On one hand, technological advances and globalization bring unprecedented opportunities for those who can access them. On the other hand, there is a growing informality of labour, income inequality and humanitarian crises."

This is near and dear to my heart; for many years, I was a board member of the United States National Committee for UN Women. Ending these inequalities is one of our key missions; however, things are not changing fast enough.

How bad is the problem? Here are some sobering findings:

Women today are paid 83 cents for every dollar a man earns, according to Gallup. This has "...barely budged in over a decade."

According to an article from Catalyst and findings from the National Women's Law Center, "The average full-time working woman will lose more than $460,000 over a 40 year period in wages due only to the wage gap. To catch up she will need to work 12 additional years."

According to a study by Org and McKinsey, "Women are less likely to receive the first critical promotion to manager-so far fewer end up on the path to leadership-and they are less likely to be hired into more senior positions... Corporate America promotes men at 30 percent higher rates than women during early career stages..."

Women are not seeing the advances they want in the workplace and are dropping out. Gallup reports that in 2000, the percentage of women in the U.S. labor force was 59.9%, but had dwindled to 56.7% by 2015.

Women are more educated than men, according to the National Center for Educational Statistics. For the class of 2013-2014, women earned more than half of bachelor's degrees (57.1%), master's degrees (59.9%), and doctorate degrees (51.8%).

"Men held 80.1% of S&P 500 board seats, while women only held 19.9%." This information was part of a 2015 census by Catalyst.

Gender Inequality Is A Global Problem
Let's examine how far we have really come and how far we still must go. The UN Women report goes on to say that "... only 50 per cent of working age women are represented in the labour force globally, compared to 76 per cent of men. What's more, an overwhelming majority of women are in the informal economy, subsidizing care and domestic work, and concentrated in lower-paid, lower-skill occupations with little or no social protection. Achieving gender equality in the world of work is imperative for sustainable development."

These comments are further supported by the findings in a multi-generational survey, Unlocking Gender Inequality & Education, commissioned by Western Union. Overwhelmingly, women across the globe indicated that "Society expects me to take on responsibilities that it doesn't expect men to take on." Although more women than men in the U.S. graduate with degrees, the survey found that 45% viewed a barrier to education as "Social & cultural factors where girls are viewed as inferior to boys & not worth educating."

Who Is Really Keeping Women Back In The Workplace?

International Women's Day was celebrated on March 8, as it is every year, to celebrate the advances of women and to remind us that there is still work to do for gender equality. A recent survey from Western Union illustrated the global challenges that women face and outlined a possible path forward.
