The Impact of the Silk Roads on the Roman Empire: Economic Prosperity and Cultural Exchange

CHALLENGING GENDER DISPARITIES: INSIGHTS INTO WORKPLACE INEQUALITY IN NIGERIA
Abstract The issue of gender inequality in the workplace has recently attracted scholarly attention globally. In Nigeria, cultural norms and institutional structures are co-dependent and affected by the notion of gender roles, which leads to disparities in work opportunities, treatment, and wages. This study explores the issue of gender inequality in the Nigerian workplace and the impact of gender roles in advancing this inequality. A sample of 130 professionals, including CEOs, managers, HR professionals, and employees in various sectors are recruited to contribute to a deeper understanding of the effects of inequality on women’s representation in the workplace, persistent stereotyping, and discriminatory practices. Using a mixed methods approach, data is collected through online surveys on the following variables: career development, workplace culture, and attitudes toward gender roles. The findings provide valuable insights for future initiatives to advance inclusivity and equity as well as adding to the discourse on gender equality in Nigerian workplaces.
