Need an research paper on women in engineering following economics of race and gender. Needs to be 9 pages. Please no plagiarism. Most of the nations talks about the equal right of men and women to the enjoyment of economic, social and cultural rights but sex discrimination still exists.

The International Labour Organization - the United Nations agency concerned with the world of work - defines discrimination as "any distinction, exclusion or preference made on the basis of race, colour, sex, religion, political opinion, national extraction or social origin which has the effect of nullifying or impairing equality of opportunity or treatment or occupation".

Discrimination at work can be direct or indirect. Discrimination is direct when regulations, laws and policies explicitly exclude or disadvantage workers on the basis of characteristics such as political opinion, marital status, or sex. Whereas indirect discrimination is the process that assigns people particular attitudes and talents or lack of talent, by virtue of their membership in a group be it racial, religious or other, irrespective of their skills and work experience. Indirect discrimination may also occur when differential treatment is accorded to particular categories of workers. For example, less favourable treatment of part-time workers is an example of indirect discrimination against women, who constitute the majority of part-time workers.

In education “Sexism” is clearly associated with sexism in the workplace. When women are expected to “stay at home,” and people don’t approve of them working or expect them to achieve some high post in the workplace, as general rule women are under-represented in the higher-status, higher-paying occupations, for example, university teaching, medicine, law and engineering. On the contrary, women are over-represented in the lower-paying occupations, such as primary teaching, nursing, and secretarial work.
