Gender equality is one of the highest values of the constitutional order of the Republic of Croatia. Moreover, equality between women and men is one of the fundamental values of the European Union. The European Union is obligated to strive for maximum gender equality in performing all of its tasks. Although men and women should have the same societal status, equal opportunities to realize rights, and equal presence in all aspects of public and private life, the reality is different. Today's generations face gender stereotypes on a daily basis. Despite societal progress in promoting gender equality, we still confront deep-rooted gender norms that cause imbalance and inequality, which is most pronounced in the labor market. Taking a long-term view, progress has been made in the position of women in the labor market, but there are still indicators that point to the fact that there is room for improvement. It is a fact that women find it harder to get employed, more often endure workplace harassment, receive lower pay, and face challenges in advancing to higher positions. The purpose of this final paper is to raise awareness about the inequality women experience in comparison to men and to present in detail the issues women encounter in the employment process and throughout their work relationships.
