Developing Research Questions

Social Issue: Gender Inequality

In my preliminary research, gender inequality still exists in this society. Gender inequalities can range from different sectors such as workforce, education, medical care, and race. During the pandemic, statistics have shown that unemployment rate increased in women, especially for working mothers. In the healthcare sector, it is also no surprise that wage gap is still happening. Women in the medical field are getting paid less than men.

Questions:

  1. Why does gender inequality still exist?
  2. How can this affect people long term?

    So you start to narrow down you focus in your paragraph but your question are too broad. I would pick an area that you want to focus on think about gender inequality there. For example, how can employers help even the playing field for working mothers? Or, how does gender inequality in the medical care field affect patients? Or, you can similarly think about gender inequality in any area that is of interest to you.
    For example, Abigail is thinking about gender inequality in television and film: https://openlab.citytech.cuny.edu/garciaeng1121-o427sp2021/2021/03/15/week-7-agenda-2/
