all five of the sustainable development
goals gender equality why are women more
likely to be unemployed than men meet
Gabby Gabby recently left her job
because she was pregnant
now that she's had her new baby she is
ready to go back to work
unfortunately her position had been
filled and she is having a hard time
finding a job that will work with her
schedule now that she has a baby
[Music]
pregnancy and strict work schedules are
two examples of why women are more
likely to be unemployed than men
prejudice decision-making can also be
blamed for this as some employers won't
employ women due to fear of possible
pregnancy lack of physical strength mood
swings and other falsehoods Gabby and
many other women are being denied jobs
that they are qualified for because of
unfair judgment it's up to employers to
make sure that change happens the first
step towards equality is admitting that
there is inequality setting requirements
for equal employment based on gender and
race is one way to improve the
employment rate for women
also whenever someone sees any active
inequality
they should be vocal about it allowing
employees to have flexible work hours
and offering work from home positions
can also help mothers who are unable to
take their children to daycare by
providing these opportunities employees
can make smoother transitions between
maternity leave and work the times of
women being undervalued are beginning to
change and we can all do our part to
help
