Impact of Gender Equality on Social Development

Abstract

Social development is the process of improving the well-being of every individual in society. Several problems of social development in the UK were on the rise such as unemployment, racism issues, and depression and anxiety which are badly affecting social development. For achieving the sustainable goal the gender of each country has to equally participate in the social development of the country. This study's main aim is to highlight whether social development is possible without gender equality. The main objective of the study is to identify the importance of Gender Equality for social development. The current research has adopted a qualitative research design under which the method has been associated with an in-depth understanding of the phenomenon. The use of qualitative design has led to the use of an inductive approach which allowed the researcher to further generalize the findings from general to specific. The researcher collected information by using secondary sources. Promotion of gender equality through targeted programs and policies can imply economic growth and gender equality simultaneously. This in return can improve the argument for public investment across gender equality. The importance of tradition and culture and the need for engaging with direct and cultural norms support the human right for the attainment of positive transformation across gender equality. With regards to social development gender inequality is considered to be increasingly harmful. The reason is that the quality generally promotes educational outcomes alongside societal health. Therefore, working on the issue of gender is increasingly important as in the UK gender inequality is viewed as one of the most severe inequalities.
