The Russian Federation adopted gender equality; however,  little has been to develop conditions that foster true equality between men and women in the workforce continuing the massive stereotypes that plague Russia's Culture.

In order to bridge the gap between gender equality with Russia changes need to occur within:
- "The percentage of women in the legislative and executive bodies in the Russian Federation is very low." The more elite the population, the less involvement women have in the Russian Politics.

Italy's View on gender equality:

The  principle of gender equality is grounded into the Italian Culture, especially because of  their Constitution and their commitment to the convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women.

Recent Efforts:
- Legislative Decree No. 198/2006, also known as the “Code of equal opportunities between men and women”

- Law 183 of 2010 which acts on the regulation of gender equality and women’s employment.

- Law in 2013 which sets stricter penalties for perpetrators of domestic abuse, sexual violence, and stalking

However, implementation efforts are still struggling, but being improved throughout Italy.

The United States' View on Gender Equality:

"The United States is the only OECD country without a national paid maternity or paternity leave policy. " Without a policy most women are subjected to leaving the workforce in order to raise their families.

"The pay gap is driven in large part by differentiated occupations, with women still concentrated in lower-paying and traditionally female occupations. According to the American Association of University Women, on average, a woman starts at a salary 7% lower than that of a man with the same qualifications, a gap which grows to 12% ten years later."


Recent Efforts:

In 2015,  the United States legalized Gay Marriage.

Carlos and I determined that the relationship between gender equality, educational ranking and happiness levels is hardly apparent within our small sample. For example, the United States has been an advocate for years for gender equality within the United States and aboard.  It has the highest educational ranking out of these countries along with the second highest happiness rankings between men and women in our small study. However, we have the highest percentage of unsatisfactory among women within these five countries. Sweden, focuses a lot of their energy on being a gender equal country and even though their educational ranking isn't has high as the United States they have a higher level of happiness within both genders and a similar low amount of discontent among both genders.  Russia has the lowest educational ranking and pretty minimal movements in place to increase gender equality, yet they have the lowest percentage of unhappiness. In order to truly determine if there may be a relationship between gender equality and education within these countries further research will be needed and more content will have be used.
