As we know gender inequality considered as the social phenomenon, in which people are treated differently or we say unequally just because of their gender. In modern era as well, we cannot deny the fact that, gender inequality is still prevailing in our society. If we look our surrounding, gender inequality can be seen at the workplace too, kind of significant issue that persists in many industries and organizations. Gender inequality can be manifest in various forms, such as the gender wage gap, lack of representation in leadership positions, and the impact of gender stereotypes. The present paper is an attempt to analyze the gender inequality at the workplace. The analysis is based on the primary data, for which well-structured questionnaire has been prepared and responses collected from 200 respondents working in public as well as private sector at Jhansi. The study reveals that such kind of gender inequalities, which is related to the employment, are moderately seen at the workplace. The male-female income ratio of 49.25% indicates the significant gender income gap, with women earning less than half of what men earn, which seems quite alarming.
