On average in 2010, women earned just 77 cents for every dollar a man earned (Brinton, M .2010) There is still a gender gap that must be correct. Unfortunately, when it comes to wage discrimination, the data is worse. No woman has ever been included in a recent Fortune magazine survey of the 25 highest-paid CEOs in Europe, and in some countries no woman has ever headed a major global company (The Conundrum of the Glass Roof, 63). Some of the major obstacles women face in the workplace today; when in any prestigious job you are expected to work long hours which can come at the expense of other aspects of life, such as picking up children, cooking and shopping. In the book Lean in Conversation on Gender it is commented that, rather than telling women to be more confident and ambitious, I think it is more important to talk about how workplaces need to adapt to the “whole person”, both women and men. This way everyone can find a better balance between work and spending time with family, friends and their community (gender inequality and women in the workplace). This leads to the conclusion that women spend more hours than men on household chores, which is a big disadvantage for women in the workplace. In general, it is neither fair nor realistic to expect gender equality
