Gender Diverty And Gender Poverty In Japan And Japan

Children who come from a lower social economic background are more likely to be in poverty themselves. This can lead to lower expectations of the child from both parents and also the education system, leaving them little or no hope of getting out of poverty even though they may have the ability to do so.

The status of women and children is an important factor in determining the standards of living in a country. Women have enormous potential as both thinkers and hands-on workers. They can contribute in different ways to help better their countries. But yet, many countries take on patriarchy stance and suppress the women, effectively cutting the country’s workforce in half. Children are another big difference

From the period of the 1880s to the 1930s, Japan and India had many similarities and differences. Japan and India’s numbers both show increasing in the amount of machine-produced goods. They each had low wages and terrible working conditions. Also, in Japan, the women had a greater role and more of a part in production while in India they didn’t participate in the factory working.

The limited schooling that takes place in lower-income countries reflects the national culture. In some schools there is bullying and violence. Some students do home schooling because they do not like being around hundreds of people or because they do not feel like they learn anything in a class full of students. In some schools, they do not have enough student because of budget cuts or because they are mostly in magnet/charter schools. There is also adult education, as in parents or elders want to continue

With the arrival of the Allied Occupation, the United States of America introduced many reforms to Japanese society. “Equality of the sexes, woman suffrage of 1946, all inequalities in laws was ended and high schools became coed” (Friedman). Since the 1950’s women have sought more individualized means to provide for themselves with a sense of well-being. The most evolving aspect of post modernization has been women’s attitudes toward marriage and the family system. Women have started to wait till later in life to marry and have placed education and or work as top priorities. Once married, however, many women now choice to continue to work especially after they work of child birth. The women’s role in the family is evolving and become more

As many people know, the Second World War changed the role of Japanese women. Before the war they used to be stay home mothers, and they had duties such as, keeping the house clean, and taking care of their husband and children. During the world war II, women changed their roles. Because a significant amount of man went to war, many women had to take their jobs in order to keep production in the country. Women started taking jobs like arms factories and coalmines. (1) In addition, new opportunities arise at that time for women because they could even join the army. After the World War II, women keep their freedom when it comes to having the right to choose whether they were going to work or be an stay home mother. Moreover, they also gain more

Many high school students in the U.S. are affected by poverty. In fact, 22% of kids under the age of 18 are living in poverty. This trend is unfair for students because a child living in poverty is more likely to drop out of school. People in poverty are less likely to earn a college degree which makes it more difficult to find a high-paying job that they qualify for.

Maternal mortality, prostitution, and economic empowerment become global struggles due to lack of education and financial ability of both the country itself and individuals living in these countries. Families are following a pattern by neglecting to dedicate time, attention, and money to their children’s education. These people are living in the moment and do not

The term “feminization of poverty” was first created in 1978 in an article that analyzed the economic statuses of women. “In 1976, nearly two out of three of poor persons over 16 years of age were women” (Pearce; 1976). The feminization of poverty describes a phenomenon in which women represent a disproportionate percentage of the United States poor. This trend is not only a result of lack of income, but also a lack of opportunities due to gender biases and fixed gender roles in some societies (DeNavas-Walt; 2012). Gender biases often deprive women of opportunities to independently pursue education or careers and are often linked to the expectation that women are responsible for childbearing and caring for them as well. To better

Societies have always had traditional ways of life, such as, gender roles. Gender roles vary in different countries all around the world. In Japan as the years go by traditions begin to change, and people alter their ways of life. A wide variety of things are now more accepted in today’s time. In countries around the world such as Japan, the gender roles were the complete opposite before and after World War II.

There are also conditions in which formal schooling structures may need to be adapted, such as in circumstances of poor security and armed conflict. Sometimes cost keeps the poorest children out of primary school, even when school fees have been abolished. Hidden costs, such as uniforms, exam fees, and other required contributions can be too large a barrier for poor families. The loss of potential income or help in the home from a child attending upper primary or secondary school, instead of working, additionally impacts the decision to continue the child’s education. Direct and indirect costs are certainly one of the main reasons primary school students do not transition to secondary school. Often secondary school is not free and school fees become much more expensive, requiring substantial contributions from households. In Sub-Saharan Africa, household contributions cover 30 to 60 percent of the cost of secondary schooling. Many countries, especially those with large youth populations, are struggling to provide sufficient secondary school options for eligible

Although efforts and struggles have been tendered, gender discrimination still presents itself in the society, procuring hindrances to the socio-economic development of the country. Gender discrimination as defined by the National Association of Japanese Canadians is the prejudice “based on a person’s gender or sex” which ensues unequal opportunities on education, health, jobs, and politics (National Association of Japanese Canadians). Furthermore, according to the United Nations Development Programme, disparities caused by gender bias yet instill a huge barricade to the socio-economic development of the society. Women, including those in their youth, still experience “gender-specific discrimation & disadvantage”. Studies from the International

Education comes with social benefits as well which can improve the situation of the poor, such as lower fertility and improved health care of children ("Poverty and Education"). "Poor people are often unable to obtain access to an adequate education, and without an adequate education people are often constrained to a life of poverty." - Servaas Van Der Berg. The absolutely poor in developing countries have low education levels. Some may not even have access to primary education or may not have completed their primary education, not realizing that it is important to reduce poverty. Education is often poorly measured, and the impacts do not always show up as statistically significant in cross- country growth regressions (Levine & Renelt, 1992). Africa’s education crisis makes media headlines and analysis by the Brookings Center for Universal Education (CUE) explains why this needs to change. Progress towards universal primary education has come to a halt and learning levels of children who are in school are poor as well. Using a Learning Barometer, CUE estimates that 61 million African children will reach adolescence lacking even the most basic literacy and numeracy skills, this will deprive a whole generation of opportunities to develop and escape poverty ("Poverty, Education, & Opportunity").

The school system provides many achievements throughout our life that benefit us, but everything had its consequences. As our system improves year to year there's many challenges that it has to go through issues regarding budget, technology, different aspects as the generation changes, and more. As years passes there have being many issues concerning how the education is affecting the younger generations and how even though many program are involved there isn't a satisfactory end result to provide a successful outcomes. One of the biggest issues concerning according to Grace Chen article is how poverty might affect the percentage of dropouts in an institution because of their financial struggle which might affect them with their lack of food

A considerable reason as to why poverty stricken kids are struggling in school is not solely because of financial straints. It is more likely about the psychological and environmental components that are in a child’s life. Factors such as gender, absences, ethnicity, housing type, age, and parental education all play an immense role in a students’ education. If parents earn a degree and have a proper education then they will be stronger supporters for their child’s education. These parents “can demonstrate the financial and career-linked benefits of gaining valuable school experience” (Ooms). Students are more likely to have a high successful future if they have a healthy home environment. Another major reason as to why students may struggle is language and cultural barriers. When students are
