Content: Even when they are willing to take a lower paying one or labor at a job that they are overqualified to perform, many people continue to struggle to find employment. Gender Inequality
From the tech industry to Hollywood, equality for women continues to plague the country. In many of the nation's workplaces, women make less money than men. In addition, women hold fewer high-level positions. In fact, according to an article in The Huffington Post, 95 percent of the country's CEO positions are held by men. This disparity is creating income inequality. In urban communities, social issues are worse when inequality exists. More mental and physical illnesses arise in these societies. They also suffer from lower literacy and math scores. Decreased social mobility and higher imprisonment rates are prevalent in urban societies that experience gender inequality.
