– Gender Discrimination: Societal biases undervalue women’s work, resulting in unequal pay and limited access to better-paying jobs.

– Occupational Segregation: Women are directed to traditionally ‘feminine’ jobs, often undervalued and offering lower wages.

– Lack of Education and Skills: Limited access to quality education and skill development restricts women’s entry into higher-paying roles.

– Care Responsibilities: Unpaid caregiving duties limit women’s availability for higher-paying jobs or career advancement.
