Gender Inequality and Parents Role on Child�s Development: An Historical Trends and Contextual Differences

Abstract
Gender inequality as well as gender bias, both blatant and subtle, are causing boys and girls to be raised in separate societies, with separate expectations, and widely diverging treatment based on gender. This is perhaps not preparing them for future together or enabling them to fulfill their own potential in life. Invariably, parents tend to distribute household tasks along gender lines, pushing boys to do yard work and take out the garbage, while girls are instructed to clean the house, wash dishes and babysit. Both males and females have standard based on their biological sex. Their gender role or how they live a male or female role determines their behaviour, attitudes, values, and beliefs. Interestingly, there is evidence to suggest that parent-child pretense and physical play may affect children�s gender-role socialization by promoting or constraining the expression of certain types of behaviour by parent and child. Therefore, this study made use of secondary data to link the descriptive assessment of an historical trends on gender development in sex roles over a period of time in discussing how parental role influences child�s development. It concludes on how society should cease having cultural distaste for ambiguity when it comes to gender, thus providing children with the freedom to grow up and become what they truly are regardless of gender.
