In everyday life, when boys enjoy watching videos and playing games, girls are pouring love and money into their favorites.On the other hand, in the future, both men and women hope to work together, and almost the same percentage of men and women want to take childcare leave and raise children.I feel that the gender gap is shrinking in terms of my future vision and career outlook.
