According to the new Gender Social Norms Index released today by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), close to 50% of the world's men and women believe that men are better political leaders and business executives and that they have more rights to a job when jobs are scarce. 28% even think it is justified for a man to beat his wife.
These have been the findings of the new UN index, which measures how social beliefs hinder gender equality in areas such as politics, work, and education, and whose data is collected from 75 countries, covering more than 80% of the world's population.
This new analysis reveals that, despite decades of progress in closing the gender equality gap, nearly 90% of the world's population has some form of bias against women, providing new insights into the invisible barriers women face in achieving equality, and a possible way forward in breaking the glass ceiling.

  I think this is a load of bullcrap, and I'm guessing the 50% who believe men are more entitled to jobs than women, are, in fact...men. And no, I don't think this bias only exists in poor countries. You're naive if you think only underdeveloped nations think men are superior...America's the top nation when it comes to gender biases.
