Abstract

Abstract
In all developing societies, cases of gender gap and gender segregation are observed. The issue of employment, university education, social functions and other situations in which women have been neglected or regarded as the second most important are examples of these inequalities. Therefore, this research study was conducted to measure the attitudes of women in Tehran to gender gap in employment and the social and economic situation of the society. In this study, women in the age group of 30-40 years were selected and completed a researcher-made questionnaire. The data were analyzed by the SPSS software. Findings showed that there was a meaningful relationship between women's employment and attitude toward gender gap. There was a meaningful relationship between the socio-economic status of women and gender-based attitudes. There was a meaningful relationship between social inclusion of genders and attitude toward gender gap, and there was a significant relationship between gender stereotypes and attitudes toward gender gap among women.
