Question

Which statement best describes how sexism affects the economies of many South Asian countries?

Answer 1

The third alternative is correct (C).

In some countries in southeastern Asia, gender issues are still a major hindrance. The social role of women is still challenged by religious and cultural issues. Thus, many women are bans on access to education and employment. As a result, the economy ceases to produce more, since women are an untapped labor force in these countries.

Answer 2

C. Some women are denied equal educational opportunities and so cannot contribute as much to the economy.
