Question

1. Discuss the income disparity between men and women?

Answer 1

Question 1: The disparity has always been that ever since women have been allowed to work, they were not viewed as capable enough to efficiently do the same jobs men can do and thus people who employed women would pay them significantly less to do the same job a man is doing. Even through all the controversy that has happened over time, many professions still pay women much less than they deserve for doing the same job.

Question 2: The relationship between professions and gender is one that is considered rarely (if at all) theorized in the sociology discipline. However, there are quite a few studies (many of them ongoing) that are attempting to set a value to what the relationship may be.
