In addition to social norms, other factors have been identified as contributing to gender inequality and discrimination against women. These include common consensus to sexism, influenced by deficiencies in education or understanding of other genders due to lack of natural relationship between both genders in early ages. In a society characterised by intense competition, there is a prevailing concern regarding the potential loss of privileges. The phenomenon of gender divergence among younger generations is a pervasive global trend. Despite the tendency of subsequent generations to be regarded as more liberal and educated, this trend persists. It has been demonstrated that men who were raised in egalitarian households are more likely to advocate for gender equality and to assume an equal share of domestic responsibilities with their partners. In countries where traditional gender roles are entrenched, women often face a choice between family and career, which can lead to a decline in the rate of marriage and subsequent birth rates. In circumstances where women are underrepresented at the senior level, they are more likely to experience feelings of envy and jealousy from their female colleagues. This may result in the emergence of “queen bee” behaviour among women in senior positions.
