The workplace nowadays is trying to employ the equal number of females and males. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
In
this
day and age, more companies are making attempts to recruit and remain the differences between the number
of female and male employees to the least. In my opinion, it can be possible in some specific fields, and the overwhelming number
of males
are inevitable in physical jobs.
On the one hand, I accept that modern workplaces in some domains such
as service industry and paperwork are likely to have an equal number
of male and female workers. In fact, in many organizations these days, more job vacancies are available for females
than in the past, meaning that women
nowadays can have the same opportunities as men
to be employed for some positions, even taking the leaderships. Besides
, with outstanding and special human instincts, aesthetic abilities or detail-oriented personalities, for example
, women
can even do better than men
in some specific careers, contributing to an increase in the number
of females
in modern workplaces.
On the other hand
, I argue that it seems to be challenging and impossible to maintain the equivalent numbers of male and female employees in jobs requiring physical health. As a matter of fact, careers such
as astronauts which have very high requirements for physical health in order to deal with intensive training and tough conditions without gravity when taking a mission of exploring a new planet, so it is likely to be more suitable for males
than females
. In addition
, regarding some manual work in society such
as builders and porters, although
a few women
can be recruited for these vacancies, the number
of men
by far outweighs that of women
since males
seem to be stronger and healthier to do the jobs more efficiently.
In conclusion, maintaining an equal number
of males
and females
in workplaces should be highly recommended, yet I am still more convinced that it can just be feasible in some industries, and with careers whose prerequisite requirement is good health and fitness, it is unavoidable to witness a surpassing number
of men
compared with women
