BARRIERS TO WOMEN’S ACCESS TO LABOUR MARKETS AND GENDER CONTRACT
Abstract
For many centuries the public and private sphere have functioned separately from each
other. Women were looking after the children and engaged in housework, while men worked to
provide their families with money to survive. However, as social consciousness grew, women
were gradually leaving the private sphere to engage more in public activities, and take up
employment. This met with a strong opposition among men who feard that they might lose
their position in a family. On the other hand, women were not prepared to compete with men,
and they also encountered various obstacles created for them on their professional development
path, especially in such areas like politics, business, education or health service.
There are many reasons for the under-representation of women in public life. The main one
is related to the stereotypes of the social roles attributed to men and women, subsequently
passed over to children in the process of their upbringing, and a relatively low self-esteem still
prevailing among many women.
