About 84 percent of them said there is equality between men and women at their workplace.

According to the overall result of the survey, 70 percent of the pollees agreed that there is equality between sexes at their family, while 60 percent of them answered gender quality can be seen at work.

Japan has the lowest gender equality index as only 30 percent of the Japanese informants said men and women are treated equally in the workplace, while 44 percent of them reported gender equality at home.

Women face the most difficulties in the political sector as only half of the overall pollees said women and men are treated equally in politics.

Finland records the highest rate of 86 percent, while Japan has the lowest of 18 percent. In Vietnam, the figure is 63 percent.

Approximately 37 percent of the overall interviewees agreed women have the same opportunities as men when it comes to job search and career development.
