Gender Gap Recommendation Report
Write a recommendation report about the Gender Gap USA. The report should be at least 1000 words. – Include a contents page to guide the reader – The instructions of the report as following: 1.Introduction What are the global background issues relating to the gender-related ideas you will write about? (e.g. development, poverty, education, jobs, etc.)
What will this report aim to do? Be specific and brief – outline the two chosen methods and identify what country it will focus upon. Explain on what basis the methods will be compared – their effectiveness and public acceptance.
2. Background
What is the situation regarding the gender gap in your chosen country? Be specific. Supply basic statistics and data, e.g. population, GDP, economy.
How does the country currently promote gender equality? e.g. government legislation, education programmes, etc. What are the problems/weaknesses with the current situation?
Are there any relevant cultural considerations for this country?
Are there any relevant political considerations for this country?
All your information must be based on academic research here and not just your ideas.
3. Options (Your chosen intervention methods)
Include a title for each intervention method – not just numbers and generic headings.
What two intervention methods have you identified? How do they work? What do they aim to do? Any other relevant details?
Diagrams and illustrations may be helpful here.
Make sure that these methods are new (or greatly modified) for your country.
4. Requirements
Why is it important that your intervention methods are effective at addressing the workplace gender gap in your chosen country?
Why is it important that your intervention methods for narrowing the workplace gender gap are acceptable to the public of your chosen country?
5. Comparison **Most Important Section**
5.1 Effectiveness
How effective are methods one and two? Evidence?
Identify and compare some specific ways that these intervention methods are likely to be effective in your chosen country based on academic evidence and examples. Would they be useful in your chosen country? Why/ Why not?
Consider:
– Have any other similar countries effectively used similar methods in the past? Examples?
– Culture and traditions, demographic facts, governmental policies, etc.
– Ways of measuring effectiveness might be more quantitative, e.g. costs of implementation, performance, outcomes/results, job statistics, pay statistics, GDP, etc
5.2 Public Acceptance
How acceptable to the public are methods one and two? Evidence?
Identify and compare some specific ways that these intervention methods are likely to be acceptable to the public in your chosen country based on academic evidence and examples. Would they be useful in your chosen country? Why/ Why not?
Consider:
– Are the people in your chosen country socially progressive or are they very conservative? Are there any relevant cultural factors? Evidence?
– Are there similar programmes in existence in your chosen country?
– Public acceptance is the key to successful implementations.
– Ways of measuring public acceptance might be more qualitative, e.g. stakeholder research such as surveys, interviews, observations, and other methods.
– Public opinions change because of factors such as media coverage, hope, fear, government policy, etc., e.g. European countries 50 years ago compared with today.
For 5.1 and 5.2, think about all the different impacts involved and compare them next to each other. You should synthesise viewpoints and give specific implications of implementing the different methods. USE comparative language. Data from other (similar) countries would be very useful in section 5.
6. Conclusion
Summarise each section and produce a brief conclusion. Your conclusion can be bullet points or a short paragraph.
7. Recommendation
Briefly, what do you recommend for your chosen country?
Recommend one of the intervention methods you have described in the report.
