Last week, you outlined your argumentative essay. This week, you must turn your outline into an essay draft. Weekly instructor guidance and Chapters 1, 2, and 3 in the course text, College Writing Handbook, will walk you through the process.
The Week 3 assignment is the first draft of your academic argument. In this assignment, you will show that you are making progress in all course learning outcomes:

You will submit a 4- to 5-page (1,000 to 1,250 words) rough-draft essay that is formatted in proper APA style. This rough draft assignment must integrate prior feedback and show improvement from your prior coursework. The rough draft will be evaluated differently than a final draft essay, so pay close attention to the grading rubrics and requirements.
Your argument should be sound, valid, and based upon evidence from at least 5 credible sources. At least 3 of your sources must be scholarly. You may integrate additional information, since your final draft requires additional research. Information and evidence must be integrated appropriately, cited in APA-style, and used with integrity.

Unequal pay is Gender inequality in the Workplace
I.
Introduction
Gender inequality is a socially constructed process method of classifying men and
women as equal to human beings. Having gender inequality creates various ways women are
discriminated against, while men are taken as superior. Using the same stereotype, men are seen
as inferior engaging in matters that concern women. One of the places gender-based
discrimination occurs is in workplace. Occurrence of gender-based discrimination applies gender
inequality methods to rank women as inferior and not deserve proper pay for work. As a result,
unequal pay happens since companies and employers classify what men do as deserving of better
pay than what women do. This explains why women doing the same job as men receive less pay
than men. Occurrence of gender-based discrimination creates a barrier of apportioning pay in
terms of individual output. Hence, women receiving lesser pay do not mean that men do a better
job than women. Having gender-based discrimination causes differences in the way men and
women are paid, citing that men have a bigger role in the workplace than women. In other
situations, women are seen as not having similar capabilities as men. Gender-based
discrimination in the workplace propels income inequality because of having occupational
segregation, ineffective equal pay laws, women have to work less when balancing work and
caregiving, lack of women in senior positions, women have less paid working hours, lack of
educational qualification that meets labor market needs, and gender-specific factors.

Many men work in industries and are paid better, unlike the fewer women who work in
the same industries (Shrestha et al., 2020). Most industries opt to hire men than women. Women
are only given office related work in the same sectors. Based on such conditions, men become
recognized as offering the tailor-made service that industries need. Therefore, to maintain the
male workers, higher pay is used to ensure more men work in the industry than women since the
work is considered strenuous. The discrimination in terms of services men offer industries over
women stems from gender-specific factors. Some of the factors are not having physical
capabilities that ensure women do strenuous work. Most women lack body strength to work in
certain strenuous industries such as construction (Balka & Wagner, 2020). Moreover, genderbased factors, such as women undergoing motherhood, limit the amount of pay certain industries
and companies pay women.
Certain companies fail to hire women due to the chances of women employees becoming
mothers and needing time off work (Jayachandran, 2020). The discrimination applies in
