countries.
plz help!!

Answer 1

Gender inequality in Japan will seriously decrease the chances of females getting a job that is considered a "male job" and will be stuck to housekeeping tasks. As for China, confusion culture and family pressure may reduce the chance for females to get a job and marry instead. Also females in China may get less income.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gender inequality in Japan remains the same because traditionalist views are stuck deeply in Japanese society.

As for China, the government had a state feminism policy during Maoist era, however it changed after Chinese economic reforms.

Answer 2

Despite being a highly developed society, Japan has high levels of gender inequality. In 2015, the country had a per-capita income of US$38,883,[1] ranking 22nd of the 188 countries, and #17 in the Human Development Index.[2] Its Gender Inequality Index rank was 19th on the 2019 report, which is relatively low for developed nations.[3] The disparity between income and gender inequality is due to the persistence of gender norms in Japanese society. Gender-based inequality manifests in various aspects of social life in Japan, from the family to political representation, playing particular roles in employment opportunities and income, and occurs largely as a result of differing gender roles in traditional and modern Japanese society.
