Hypothesis

The lack of women's participation in politics/public life will be positively associated with adult gender inequality but not childhood gender inequality (66).

Note

Adulthood gender inequality was significantly correlated with lack of women's groups (rho= .71) and lack of women's participation (rho= .87). Childhood gender inequality was not significantly correlated.
