The Concepts of Gender and Diversit

Gender: Gender as a social category plays a major role in professional life. Culturally inherited gender roles affect how performance, working methods, and appearance are valued and influence the distribution of recognition, advancement opportunities, income, and much more.

Diversity: Furthermore, additional categories of difference such as age, social class, ethnicity, religion, and sexual orientation have various affects on an individual’s or a group’s access to spaces, resources, and opportunities
