Family plays a key role in establishing gender roles from a young age. Traditionally, males are given more freedom and encouraged to pursue higher education and careers, while females take on domestic duties like cooking, cleaning, and childcare. Physical appearance expectations also differ by gender, with females expected to be thinner and shorter. The family influences behaviors, marriage expectations, access to education, and career choices in a way that promotes inequality between males and females from an early stage of life.
