Abstract Gender Equality in Employment Plays a Crucial Role in Social and Economic Development, with Government Implementation of Policies Worldwide to Ensure Workplace Inclusivity and Equal Opportunities Across All Genders. over the Years, Several Measures Such as Uniform Pay Legislation, Parental Leave Schemes, has Been Introduced to Address Gender Biases in Employment. Despite the Presence of Several Legal Frameworks, Attaining Gender Parity in the True Sense Within the Workforce Remains a Huge Challenge. focus of this Study is on Analysis of Government Policies on Gender Equality in Employment, Evaluating Their Effectiveness, Execution Challenges, and Gaps in Enforcement. through Evaluation of Government Reports, Corporate
Policies, and Human Resource Guidelines, the Research Identifies Key Factors in Gender-focused Employment Regulations. While Several Policies Aim to Enhance Fair Treatment of Men and Women In Workplaces, Their Actual Effect Varies Immensely Based on Policy Enforcement, Corporate Compliance, and Societal Attitudes Toward Gender Roles the Research Finds that Although Equal Pay Acts and Workplace Anti-discrimination Laws Persist in Several Countries, Inconsistent Enforcement Reduces Their Effectiveness. While Some Nations has Commendable Integrated Gender-inclusive Parental Leave Policies, Others Strive Due to Cultural and Economic Barriers. a Crucial Issue is the Gap Between Policy Creation and Real-world Implementation, as Many Corporate Sectors do Not Fully Associate with Gender Equality Mandates. this Emphasizes the Need For Stronger Enforcement Mechanisms, Regular Policy Evaluations, and Corporate Accountability Measures.to Bridge the Gap Between Policy and Practice, this Study Recommends Enhanced Government Oversight, Incentives for Companies to Adopt Gender-equal Policies, and Awareness Campaigns to Transform Workplace Norms. Reinforcing Legal Frameworks and Ensuring Their Effective Execution will be Critical in Cultivating a Truly Equitable Employment Environment Across All Genders.
