Human Rights and Social Inequality: gender-based disparities in workplace and organizational settings in Kazakhstan

Abstract

This research explores the intersection of human rights and social inequality, with a focus on gender-based disparities in the workplace and organizational settings in Kazakhstan. It aims to provide an in-depth analysis of systemic issues contributing to gender inequality, evaluate current policies, and propose strategies for promoting gender equality in Kazakhstan's labor market. The study will investigate the reciprocal nature of gender inequalities within organizational structures, processes, and practices, emphasizing the impact of HR practices on hiring, training, pay, and promotion. By taking a constructivist approach, the research seeks to understand how women interpret and experience these inequalities, and how these experiences affect their mental health and professional development. The research will also examine the effectiveness of governmental and organizational policies in addressing gender-based disparities and compare them to international standards. Ultimately, this study aims to identify innovative strategies that can be implemented to enhance gender equality in Kazakhstan, contributing to the country's overall socio-economic development and ensuring fair treatment and opportunities for all women in the workplace. The findings will provide valuable insights for policymakers, organizations, and civil society to create a more inclusive and equitable labor market in Kazakhstan.
