In Japan, gender inequality is
apparent in the different aspects of social life. It ranked 21st our 188

shaped by the female as the homemaker and the male earner. It makes it
challenging for women to break from what is historically typical and rise to be

In China, earning inequality has
become a notable issue as the women were paid only 75.4% of what men were paid.

family as the women were considered "surplus" if they do not get
