“Although gender inequality is closely related to biological differences between females and males, it is profoundly social phenomenon based on the cultural definitions of sex and gender.”

“Sociologically, sexism and gender inequality are produced by social systems organized in patriarchal ways, systems in which we participate as women and men. In so doing, we affect not only our lives, but also the lives of others and the social systems in which all of this take place. In most cultures, maleness is valued more highly than femaleness, and different criteria used to evaluate men and women. Several studies reveal that parents in most societies prefer male children (Williamson 1976; see also Corea et al. 1987; Hammer and McFerran 1988). In many parts of Asia, infanticide—the killing of infants—is relatively common and is more likely to happen to female children (Korbin 1983) .” It is difficult to know why women are treated differently, it is deeply rooted in culture. Many poorer Asian families think that having a son is more helpful than a daughter. Not only will their sons preserve the family name, but also the poor often say that men are more intelligent than women. Even m

In conclusion: I want to bring examples about what some sociologists say about whether the problem of Gender Inequality will ever disappear from our society. “Gender is a social construct based on the biological differences between males and females. The biological differences will not disappear in the future, and therefore gender inequality will not totally disappear either. Society, however, may place less emphasis on insubstantial gender differences and more on people’s actual characteristics.” The words of sociology instructor in AUCA Botoeva Gulzat about the changes in gender inequality, “Problem of gender inequality might not disappear, however it might take another shape, where in dominance will be women and the burden of this inequality may lie on men.”

4Excerpt from article of Dr.Anara Tabyshalieva “Increasing gender inequality in Central Asia”

Table 1: Women in Governments of Central Asian States

A Central Asian woman has to overcome more difficulties in career advancement not only because she carries out all unpaid work such as the rearing of children and caring for her husband, but also because she has to overcome substantial resistance from the social environment and suffer public distrust in her abilities.
