Answer 1

Answer:

Women who enjoy a higher social status are usually more educated than women of a lower social status.

Explanation:

Women, unfortunately, don't have the same social status as men in many countries. While in the countries with Western culture and values, as well as most of the former communist states of Eastern Europe, there are still many regions where women have a very low social status.

The women have a low social status in countries that are Muslim dominated or are at a low development level. This is due to the huge effect that religion and tradition have in these societies, but putting women on such a low level hinders their progress. On the other hand, where women have the same, and in some cases even more rights than men, they have higher social status, contribute to the development of the society and economy, and the countries are much more open and better places for leaving.
