The "Gender Equality Bureau Cabinet Office" (n.d) states that an equal society is a "society in which both men and women, as equal members, have the opportunity to participate in all kinds of social activities at will, equally enjoy political, economical and cultural benefits, and share responsibilities."
According to the graph below by the Pew Research Center (2013), 4 out of 10 people believe society treats men and women equally. A significantly higher proportion (45%) believes that society favors men over women. Only 9% believe that society favors women over men.
3) Education and socialization :
Attitudes and views about gender roles are greatly influenced throughout early socialization. Over time, biased education and societal conditioning can promote inequality.
