WOMEN IN FINANCIAL SECTOR: A GENDER BIAS IN MUSLIM COUNTRIES

Abstract

Women are always considered inferior to men in every field. Most of the fields are male dominated due to which women cannot express their skills and talents at their workplace. Finance has in fact opened up new positions for women to work in and set their names in this field. Women are now competing with men and are winning battles equally and are matching them head to head everywhere. But women in financial sector are usually looked down upon as it is considered as male – oriented field. This is a gender bias and should not be ignored. The methodology used is statistical and descriptive analysis through the use of survey and questionnaire presented to 50 respondents. The findings show us that the bias still exists all around the world. This research highlights important concept of gender bias that is there in the financial world
