Gender Inequality in Sub-Saharan Africa
In Sub-Saharan Africa, despite high rates of female labor force participation, gender inequality persists due to factors like early marriage, lack of economic opportunities, and prevalence of unpaid family work. Women often engage in back-breaking agricultural labor without recognition or access to modern appliances, leading to limited economic mobility. While some progress is seen in countries like Mauritius and South Africa, many women across the region face economic insecurity and limited options for employment.
