A Study on the Structure of Gender Inequality: Researching Female leaders who work for Education, Medical and Social Work

我们希望更多的女性成为有影响力的领导者。本研究的目的是促进妇女参与社会，本研究的目的是分析性别不平等的结构，包括工作隔离，性别收入差距和性别歧视等。为了分析性别不平等的结构，我们研究了有影响力的女性官僚、在学校工作的女性校长、在医院工作的护士长和在社会运动中工作的女性领导人的情况。我们使用“可比价值”方法和“空间/地点”方法来分析我们的研究数据。“可比价值”方法与可比价值歧视有关，据说，当人们发现工作的性别构成对其薪酬水平产生影响时，即使将显示为决定薪酬水平的其他工作特征作为控制变量输入，这种影响仍然存在。空间/地点方法是我们最初的概念，与性别权力的结构有关。我们认为拥有权力的人所占据的位置是“空间/地方”。我们选择了三组在与可比价值歧视有关的工作场所工作的受访者和在与可比价值歧视无关的工作场所工作的受访者作为对照组。我们的假设是，妇女在小学、中学教育和医院中有更多机会担任有影响力的职位，相比之下，妇女在地方政府和社会运动中担任有影响力职位的机会相对较少。为了证明这一假设，我们使用了可比价值和空间/地点概念。我们从这项研究中得到了很多深思熟虑的结论。

We would like more women to become influential leaders.The aim of this study is to promote women's participation in society, and the purpose of this research was to analyze the structure of gender inequality in regard to job segregation, the sex gap in earnings and sex discrimination and so on.In order to analyze the structure of gender inequality we researched the situation of influential female bureaucrats, female principals who worked for schools, head nurses who worked for hospitals and female leaders who worked for social movements.We used "comparable worth" approach and "space/place" approach in order to analyze the data of our research. "Comparable worth" approach is related to comparable-worth discrimination which is said to occur when one finds an effect of the sex composition of jobs on their pay level that remains even when other job characteristics shown to be determinants of pay levels are entered as control variables. Space/place approach is our original concept that is relating to the structure of gender power.We thought the positions that are occupied by people holding the power "space/place".We chose three groups of our respondents who worked for the work places that were related to comparable-worth discrimination and the others who worked for the work places that were not related to comparable-worth discrimination as control groups.It was our hypothesis that there are more opportunities for women to hold influential positions in primary, secondary education and hospitals, in comparison there are relatively fewer opportunities for women to hold influential positions in local gevernment and social movements.In order to prove this hypothesis we used comparable worth and space/place concept.We got a lot of thoughtful conclusions from this research and study.
