Study on Gender Equality Shows that Men Still Dominate

The Pew Research Center recently conducted a poll of 22 countries. The results showed that equality between men and women is supported globally. However, men still get more favorable opportunities than women.

The study found that fewer women than men cheer on parity in Britain and Japan. In France, all women and 99 percent of men agreed on equal rights for the sexes. Egypt, Jordon, Indonesia, Kenya, and Nigeria are the nations found to least support gender equality.

In France, 75 percent of survey participants said "they had a better life there than women." Final poll results revealed that gender equality as an ideal is slowly becoming the norm for the majority of the world, but has not reached the level of reality.

ForbesWomen.com reports "But even in countries that said men and women should have equal job opportunties, most admitted that men still get better opportunities than women."
