Women and Work:
Around the World, Women Earn less

The survey in the Newsweek magazine “The Status of Women Around the World” was about women’s present situation of earning money all over the world. Every survey showed women are in severe situations compared to men. I was so surprised by the fact that 70% of more than 1 billion people who live in poverty are females all over the world. I know that women cannot work on equal terms with men in Japanese society yet. I think some law which supports women should be made and men also should think about women more. I think it is unfair that only women bring up their children. Those problems are connected to other problems such as the declining birth rate. I want to study about these issues more and improve our future.
