This document contains interviews from grandparents, parents, and teenagers in 2014 about the changing roles and relationships between men and women over time with respect to education, career opportunities, and household responsibilities. The grandparents noted that equal opportunities for education were not available and that household work was primarily the responsibility of women. The parents observed somewhat more equal opportunities for education and careers emerging, especially in fields like teaching and medicine, with men beginning to contribute more to housework. By 2014, the teenagers saw equal opportunities for both boys and girls across all fields, including traditionally male-dominated ones, as well as equal sharing of domestic duties between men and women.
