Abstract

Abstract The impact of gender inequality on female employment cannot be overemphasised due to its detrimental effect on women’s well-being, empowerment, development and progress. This study investigated gender discrimination issues women face and classified the impact on female labour participation in the civil service. The study administered semi-structured interview questions to 27 civil servants in Nigeria that were conveniently selected, and used a content-and consistency-based analytical technique to analyse the civil servants' subjective experiences, opinions, and perceptions. The findings suggest that gender inequality impacts negatively on women’s employment with systemic gender disparity issues having a higher consistency rate and significantly known among the civil servants than individual-driven gender disparity issues. The study recommends that the government enact and effectively implement policies that will eliminate systemic gender inequalities, which will eliminate or marginally reduce individual-driven gender inequalities.

性别不平等对就业有影响吗?基于内容和一致性的尼日利亚女性公务员劳动参与分析

性别不平等对女性就业的影响无论怎么强调都不为过，因为它不利于女性的福祉、赋权、发展和进步。这项研究调查了妇女面临的性别歧视问题，并对妇女参与公务员制度的影响进行了分类。该研究对尼日利亚的27名公务员进行了半结构化的访谈问题，这些问题是方便选择的，并使用基于内容和一致性的分析技术来分析公务员的主观经验、意见和看法。研究结果表明，性别不平等对女性就业产生负面影响，系统性性别不平等问题在公务员中具有更高的一致性，并且比个人驱动的性别不平等问题在公务员中具有显著的知名度。该研究建议政府制定并有效实施消除系统性性别不平等的政策，这将消除或略微减少个人驱动的性别不平等。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
