Tamila Arnania-Kepuladze

Securing the well-being, protection of human rights and equality on the ground of age, gender, race, nationality etc along with sustainable economic development becomes most important goal for any country. The formal institutions such as regulatory documents, law etc have granted men and women similar rights and women today have played a vital role in employment and economic development and their skills and experiences are necessary for further progress of society. Despite of longstanding striving for gender equality, the inequality has adverse impacts on women, men, their families, the economy and society as a whole. After decades of government and non-government organizations’ intentions to achieve gender equality in the employment sphere, it becomes obvious that non-formal institutions such as gender stereotypes continue to limit gender equality.
