Summary/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.

Summary/Abstract |
A popular anecdote tells of an Israeli traveler who, on arriving at a foreign port, responds to the questions on his visa form: “Sex — yes, please; Occupation — no, just tourism.” It is a joke, of course, and quite funny. But at its core it’s very unfunny, even tragic. Around the world, mention “Israel” and word-association instantly invokes “occupation.” But mention “occupation” in Israel, and almost no one knows what you’re talking about. It’s cognitive dissonance on a national scale. How can you end something that doesn’t exist?
