Explanation

• Japan has one of the worst levels of gender equality in the developed world.
• Granted more equality after WWII but still lacks in workplace and education
• Men get payed more if their wives stay home and do not work

MOST AFFECTED

• Not just one specific area
• In northern Japan women get payed 67% of what men do
• In other parts of Japan, they are being payed almost 87%

How People Respond

• Women were always taught to obey men and that they weren't as good so they do not think to much of it and neither do men
• The government does not care as long as the men are working. They could not care less whether or not the women were working

This is a job that women in Japan would not be able to do because they are women.

Women usually stay at home with the children, cooked, and clean while the men are working. This is because this is what they were taught to do from a young age.
