Most high-level positions in companies are filled by men even though the workforce in

many developed countries is more than 50 percent female. Companies should be

required to allocate a certain percentage of these positions to women.
Do you agree?
We live in an age where many of us overwhelmingly support equality at work, surprisingly a good number
of corporate recruite men at the top executive level despite having 50% female staff. It is agreed that
companies should compel to allocate an equal proportion of top positions to the female employee. This
essay will analyze the reason of underpaid and under-representation of the female at high-level positions
and secondly, girls are performing better than boys in different sectors which tend to be dominated by
their male counterparts.

Despite the rise of feminism and equal right, women participation at a high level is under-represented,
even though having superior skills and qualifications. Numerous women do the same job as their male
colleagues and earn less money and appreciation even have fewer opportunities of promotion. For
example, a survey by the Guardian Newspaper found that in the United Kingdom women earn 25% less
than men of the same position and 50% less likely to be promoted. The reason stated behind these
trends by the organization are maternity leaves and multiple responsibilities of home and office.

Evidently, women outperformed men on many fronts that traditionally a stronghold of men. Girls are
getting higher grades in most university courses such as Mechanical engineering, Civil engineering, and
Aeronautical engineering previously male dominated fields. For instance, a top aeronautical scientist in
NASA is a woman (Sunita Williams), CEO of Pepsi is Indra Noyee. however, positions should be based on
merit, not on the gender basis.

In conclusion, women deserve the equal opportunity based on merit, since they are capable of managing
the critical and demanding roles at the organization, hence corporate should follow the fairer hiring
system.
