Question

Which of the following is not an indicator that a society may discriminate against women?
A.
Females make up less than 50% of the population.
B.
The society has low female employment rates.
C.
Women first marry after they reach their 20s.
D.
The society has high female infanticide rates.

Answer 1

C.

Women first marrying after their 20s is not an indicator of discrimination — it typically signals greater autonomy, education and opportunities. The other options (low female employment, high female infanticide, and a notably low female share of the population) can indicate gender discrimination.
