Sex Discrimination in Employment: Everyone's Problem

Abstract

The differences between men and women have existed since the beginning of time. These differences, when integrated into cultural norms over time, serve as the basis for acceptable gender roles and behaviour. In today's American society, nowhere are these roles more apparent than in the workplace. Conse‐quently, gender‐related conflicts are commonplace in corporate American culture and ultimately affect everyone in some manner. This article explores some of the reasons for these conflicts, identifies the affected parties, and recommends strategies aimed at improving the overall situation.
