Women are more likely to graduate from high school than men and generally achieve better grades in university. Nevertheless, they are ultimately less successful – why? In this episode, you'll learn not only many fascinating facts and figures about the current and future situation of women in our society, but also how German citizens view gender roles and where these views are currently heading.
71 percent of citizens believe that men have a responsibility to take on more family responsibilities and better reconcile their careers with family life. Among women, this figure rises to three-quarters, while among men it is still two-thirds.
If people were free to choose whether they wanted to live in the past or the future, two thirds would opt for the past. Compared to the past, the desire to live in the past is even increasing. The younger generation of under 35-year-olds is somewhat more optimistic, although the majority of this age group (56%) would also opt for the past.

Two-thirds of Germans would like to volunteer, but in reality, less than a third are regularly involved. In this episode, you'll learn not only the reasons for and against volunteering, but also what concrete steps can be taken to ensure the future viability of volunteering.

The values of tolerance, politeness and honesty are fundamental pillars of social interaction and shape behaviour in society. A large majority therefore take it for granted to listen to others, to respect other ways of life or to express their own opinion in the event of differences of opinion.
