The topic I chose is gender inequality in developing countries. In developing countries they tend to favor the males for many things such as education, health, employment and many more. Many developing countries do not encourage women to strive for any level of education because they believe woman are only good for certain things and getting an education is usually not on the list. Although for many of these developing countires it depends on the economic growth of the particular country or the financial capabilities of a certain family and if they are able to afford school. As for health, women have a longer life expectancy then men, but this female advantage is somewhat smaller in poor countries(Jayachandran, 2017). A huge factor in dealing with the health of women in these countries can be when women have children they may not be able to afford going to the hospital or any medication they may need. Employment for women in developing countries is very rare just like education. For example, India stands out for the underrepresentation of women in the labor force; men are three times as likely as women to be working(Jayachandran, 2017). Only in richer countires do the peoples view on women in the workplace differ than they do in developing countries. In developing countires it can be hard to live in general but even worse to be living in them as a woman.
