At the microeconomic level, occupational segregation by gender substantially depresses female wages and contributes to the gender wage gap. Occupational employment segregation is fact of life, though women are capable of making it in almost all kinds of employments.

This is one of our target SDGs that we would like to realize and contribute to the UN SDGs achievement. To that end, we are looking to collaborate with Online Volunteers to support in writing grant application that would enable us to carry and implement the above project. The project writing may involve extensive research and multiple discussions.
