This week we discussed chapter 14, which grabbed my attention instantly. Chapter 14, which is titled, “Justice, Equity, and Social Change,” which talks about many different things relating to men and women but the gender and entitlement section grabbed my attention. I grew up in India where men and women are not equal and that includes my household as well. Men are the dominate in the house and in public. Whatever the male figure decides, that’s exactly what happens in most cases. Chapter 14 focuses on work related superiority but that can easily be related to everyday living superiority in my case and I will explain how and why.

What can be done to promote shared prosperity?” In the article, O’Connell points out that in the year 2000, only 26% of the females were related with working job/business owner and 37% in the year 2005, which is still pretty low. Jobs that are related to transportation, research and development are 1% or less with females. Which in my opinion tells me that the 37% females with jobs are doing hard labor jobs so they can feed their families and are not doing any high-end jobs. O’Connell sums it up by saying that, “Despite its recent economic advances, India’s gender balance in labor force participation and entrepreneurship remains among the lowest in the world. Improving this balance is an important step for India’s development and its achievement of shared prosperity and gender equality.”
Even though in chapter 14, it clearly states that women can work longer than men but do it for less pay and less reward (pg. 557). In India, most women are not even given a chance to show that if they can work or not. I agree when they stated in chapter 14 that our history plays a big role why women are not always treated correctly. They have been facing discrimination for many years, they feel less privileged, so when they don’t get paid same as the guys, most women think that is okay for the most
