Many women are in the workforce today, but only a few are in senior positions. What causes this phenomenon? Suggest possible solutions that would resolve this issue.

It is true that only a few

women

are in senior positions while many

women

are in the workforce. While

this

is a severe problem, it can be solved by setting up better institutional policies. The main issue with most senior positions still go to

men

is

discrimination

in the workplace. The

discrimination

between

men

and

women

in the workforce doesn't look very distinct.

However

, look at the situation more closely, there have some differences, especially in requesting childcare leave. When

women

are in working age about 30s, they are likely to undergo marriage and pregnancy.

Then

the company have to have specific policies for pregnant

women

like pregnancy leave, but only a few companies offer

this

policy

. The

women

aren't protected their right to work, yet they still have the same ability to work compare to

men

.

This

situation leads to block

women

's promotion in their workplace.

However

, there are solutions to

this

problem. One of the ways to decrease

discrimination

is to set up a better

policy

through the government because the people's perception of empty working years of

women

giving birth to children and raising them is hard to change. Though through some proper

policy

, these common thoughts can be resolved.

For example

, some developed companies in Korea have started to make policies

such

as giving childcare vacation opportunities to both

men

and

women

. After

this

policy

has settled, young people's perception is changing these days. To sum up, it is clear that there is particular

discrimination

of promotion between

men

and

women

.

Nevertheless

,

this

problem can be solved with the government's suitable

policy

.
