| Research Abstract |
This research has investigated gendered discourses at home and in the media in order to promote gender equal participation at home and work and as a result also to help solve the problem of the low birth rate. The result of the investigation has clearly shown that there still exist hidden assumptions about gender fixed roles in the media and family discourses. To raise awareness in these hidden unconscious gender-biased assumptions, the researcher has presented the results at international conferences, sent an article to a newspaper and an academic paper to an international journal, and is currently preparing a couple more academic papers to be published.
