Most high level jobs are done by men. Should the government encourage a certain percentage of these jobs to be reserved for women?


Statistics shows that most high level jobs are done by men. In this era the production promotes widely gender equality. As a result, the government is demanded to encourage a certain percentage of high level jobs to be reserved for women.

The most important qualification to utilize a worker in a high level job is professionalism, not gender. High level jobs require high performance and integrity but when reserving a certain percentage of these jobs for a particular group of people some issues can be raised.  Today most of the right people are in wrong place due to the lack of job opportunities in a country. This is because of the stability of the economy.  

Employment should be based on fair competition but not on any particular group of society. People from both genders should be given equal opportunity to try to win reasonably with each others to get the jobs. Giving special favor to a particular group to live in a certain percentage of high level jobs can mean unfair process. 

Many women give up high positions because they need more time for spending with their family. Clearly the high positions are very demanding but time consuming. Responding to their motherly natures, many women choose to devote a considerable amount of their time to their children and family. Because of the motherly nature the officials may sometimes delay but that person can enroll another person to take care of that work until she comes to work. This clearly shows that gender discrimination has nothing to do. 

The government doesn’t have to satisfy the demand by reserving a certain percentage for women by giving special favor in job fields. Appointing more women in a work would not lead to development the country.  The benefit for the society is to balance unify of men and women.
