Abstract

Despite achievements in women’s economic and political empowerment, gender inequalities persist in the key socioeconomic areas of health and education in Laos. How can we explain these gaps in equality? We analyze how Lao people perceive gender equality and how differences in the perception of multiple dimensions of gender equality affect women’s rights in healthcare and education. The results of a 2023 survey of 664 Laotians highlight the perception of equal responsibilities as the key dimension of gender equality, which may limit the improvement of gender equality in health. The results imply that female leadership and greater public consideration of gender equality with respect to rights and opportunities may promote gender equality in Laos. This study contributes to the study of perceptions and practices of gender equality in non-Western countries.

欺骗性的性别平等

尽管老挝在赋予妇女经济和政治权力方面取得了成就，但在保健和教育等关键社会经济领域，性别不平等现象依然存在。我们如何解释这些差距呢?我们分析了老挝人民如何看待性别平等，以及对性别平等多个层面的看法差异如何影响妇女在保健和教育方面的权利。2023年对664名老挝人进行的一项调查结果突出表明，责任平等是两性平等的关键方面，这可能会限制两性在保健方面平等的改善。结果表明，女性领导和更多的公众对权利和机会方面的性别平等的考虑可能促进老挝的性别平等。这项研究有助于研究非西方国家对性别平等的看法和做法。

期刊介绍： The only academic journal of its kind produced in the United States, Asian Survey provides a comprehensive retrospective of contemporary international relations within South, Southeast, and East Asian nations. As the Asian community’s matrix of activities becomes increasingly complex, it is essential to have a sourcebook for sound analysis of current events, governmental policies, socio-economic development, and financial institutions. In Asian Survey you’ll find that sourcebook. Asian Survey consistently publishes articles by leading American and foreign scholars, whose views supplement and contest meanings disseminated by the media.
