Myth: The fact that there are some women who have a higher social and economic status than some men means inequality has been eliminated.A recent visit to the ISEAS website also reveals a recent bulletin (PDF) from the Gender Studies Programme. The feature article highlights several worrying trends in ASEAN. One particular example is the seemingly bigger gender gap in countries which are more developed.
Fact: Systematic inequalities continue to exist at every level of society. There may be female heads of Fortune 500 companies but the fact that they constitute less than 5% of the total means that barriers remain.
