Common Facts of Gender Roles

• All cultures differentiate between male and female


roles.

nation, unequal representation of men and women
in managerial positions is found around the world .

• Men are expected to fulfil certain roles and behave


accordingly, whereas women are supposed to
satisfy other social roles and expectations.

• Despite the growth of women occupying


management positions in Hong Kong, a significant
gender gap still exists .

total labor force of 2.8 million, yet they occupy 20
percent of managerial and administrative positions .

a high degree of influence on women’s access to top
management in their country .

in the masculine countries, such as Hong Kong, because
women will encounter more resistance and need to make
greater adjustments in the work environment.

be the mother of her family .

Husbands in Hong Kong believe that wives may work,


providing they pose no threat to the male’s dominant
position .
