Gendered Socialist Feminist Disparities in Earnings as a Factor Undermining Achieving SDG 5: A Case of World Vision eSwatini
2025
Overview
Gender and development can no longer be conceptualised outside of economics and income for livelihoods, particularly for women. As a yardstick for evaluating sustainable development in any country or setting, earnings based particularly on gender have much bearing in ascertaining progression and equality between men and women. This is because women represent and account for over 50 per cent of the world’s population, in which only about 50 per cent of women unfortunately participate in the labour force, compared to the 80 per cent of men. The study investigated gender equality in non-governmental organisations (NGOs) using a qualitative research approach in the form of a case study of an international non-governmental organisation (INGO) which is a development agent and carries or advances Agenda 2030 as part of its existence. The study used interviews and observations as data collection tools with a sample size of twenty (n=20) participants. This study is framed according to the socialist feminist theory. The study unearths that to some extent, gender does have a bearing and plays a role in earnings or remuneration in the workplace since, in some instances, it was discovered that women doing the same work and having a high level of education earned less than their male counterparts. Thus, earnings are gendered; women earn less than males and are not considered for promotions. The study recommends the policy reviews, gender mainstreaming, and embracing gender equality. The study further recommends making sure that all citizens, from ground level are re-socialised, empowered, and aware of the importance of embracing gender equality in society to overcome other disparities in education, health, finance, and technology, together with cultural and social impediments that continuously undermine women’s potential, participation, and empowerment.
