1:31 am
a living farming butterflies which are in great demand around the world. europe and asia and leading trade partners but how similar of the 2 continents when it comes to social justice well working conditions more or less comparable what kind of jobs do people do and what might still be a half in our new social justice series what places we visited 8 asian and european countries and discovered that aside from all the difference is there actually many similarities societies it seems are rarely alone when it comes to the challenges they face. a little bit by what he done to have mining able man my day begins at 4 am i get up make breakfast and lunch for later wake up my daughter bathe her and to her hair. any better any funny. that.
1:32 am
my company allows me to bring my daughter into work with me. that's really supportive of course. going on 3 lives with her husband and daughter in the southern indian state of tommy and i do and she has an enviable job she's collected by a company shuttle at 7 30 am she takes her 2 year old daughter along the child spends the day in the company nursery. 3 works at killer scar brothers a company that manufactures palms at this site it hires mechanics a profession that elsewhere is dominated by men but here since early twenties they've been employing only women and that's bucking the trend across india the number of women in gainful employment is shrinking. back in 2005 around a 3rd of indian women legally able to work had a regular job today just over 23 percent of them do you know the words almost 4 out
1:33 am
of 5 indian women are now excluded from the labor market. the factories manager is in charge of almost $300.00 women she sees no reason to employ men they had so much to be good at the woman employees all so much did they had a presence and they have a wonderful crisis management skills so what are the solutions or what are the problems they see as they come to the solution just as a manager. in iceland it's late morning when the winter sun finally emerges over the horizon shipping at least a little daylight in the capital rekick but at this preschool in the district of lao for spork they've been wide awake for hours. 30 years ago my great starter founded a private school initiative called which translates as breaking taboos. and that's
1:34 am
exactly what she did her staff team is almost exclusively female and the children are segregated along gender lines today in iceland has grown into a kind of movement 6. i started that made this company all that's quite nice and running so my notion is and school was just because i wanted to be and that's really meant and create and i have a lot all want to forestall it's often said that if you're a woman iceland is the best place in the world to be and there are perhaps historic reasons for this in the olden days viking men often took to the seas that left women behind to manage on their own today some 70 percent of icelandic women of legal age 16 years and older have jobs and that's not a recent development. in
1:35 am
india equality often only exists on paper that makes a company like killer scar brothers extraordinary they're creating the necessary framework for equality to exist like a canteen with affordable meals and a company nursery. the children are even allowed to eat with their mothers at lunchtime wages are also consistent with those paid to men who work at other companies in the sector. but not england. since starting work here i don't have any more financial worries. i'm really happy to see my salary going into my account every month. a research institute has calculated that if india's women receive the same job opportunities as men in the coming years it could spur g.d.p. growth up to 18 percent by 2025.
1:36 am
in islands' county schools everyone is convinced that gender equality doesn't just happen on its own but that women need support radical approaches why not for example most of the jobs in the schools are filled by women whether teachers managers or accountants of the school's $500.00 staff 90 percent are women. iceland's government is also throwing its weight behind the campaign for gender equality by 2022 there are plans to oblige all companies to pay the same wages for the same work whether it's done by a man or a woman but what's it really like working with practically no men when they're mostly women they have to play all the roles so we have to practice everything so it's up to us when you're put in the situation to decide to develop you have all
1:37 am
the roles so that's the key factor you know in the situation what do you have practicing to people in that way being powerful something that girls actually are also supposed to learn they're separated from the boys most of the time the idea is to prevent or at least delay the onset of gender specific behavior in specifically developed exercises aimed at improving self-confidence the girls cry out the words i am strong. and. we practice all kinds of different exercises. and i feel really good when i'm doing it. sometimes we jump from the window sill sometimes from the tables or chairs when i jam with my friends it's really funny. please i want my kids have the courage to raise their voice and say what they need and when they're training to jump down and
1:38 am
screaming please. the with all the soul when you are grown what spinny mean if you have something important to say and dive in when needed. though it might seem like it the young me school approach isn't about keeping girls and boys apart the aim is to prepare the children for a life in which quality is seen as the most natural thing in the world. and now from close to the north pole we head south to the equator wherein kenya's capital nairobi the tenacious group of people find the best way to unwind after a long day is all nice. ice hockey at the equator it's real and it's right here at this ice arena in a shopping center in the kenyan capital nairobi twice a week about 2 dozen adrenaline junkies meet for hockey training at this arena even though it's really too small for the sport most of the players had never seen an ice rink before they started here except on t.v.
1:39 am
but now there are the ice lions and fakes a homo is one of the few women players on the team. really but i mean because you know many show it says you have and we only have these 3 these you know are there so even if you're angry at your resume you didn't come back. with it and you know that you have. the team as a cross-section of urban kenyan society the young men and women come from a range of social and economic backgrounds and different ethnic groups but when they play hockey together they're all on the same team 22 year old george the chara is the team's goalie and he's fearless as he throws himself in front of the harsh high speed limits of what people are decided to become a goalkeeper because it suits my personality. and i'll be doing it for the rest of marmaris it is the. george has to be pretty fearless outside the rink too
1:40 am
he makes a living driving one of the. and his legendary boat a boat as the motorcycle taxis that weave their way through the daily traffic chaos on the streets of nairobi there are parallels with playing ice hockey and not just because of the home it. is a job. it's a good job to keep your head above water but there are lots of downsides but the crazy traffic the frequent accidents that will be on. george earns enough to afford a small apartment for himself he'd prefer to be back in school studying to become an engineer and he dreams of starting a family but making that leap is a financial challenge for many young kenyans like george. the man is a joe ice hockey is a great help when i play hockey in the evening i forget all about the challenges of the day and at work it puts me in a better mood. and of course he rides to the ice arena on his boat up. at the
1:41 am
same time face a polo is on the bus making her way to the rink chute she also has to contend with nairobi's gridlock to road speed i have to. walk back to the campaign point. put a face. to. face used to wearing all the gear that hockey players need but it's expensive equipment and the team wouldn't be able to afford it if it weren't for the donors and sponsors drummed up by tim colby a native of hockey mad canada who lives in nairobi tim's been in kenya for 9 years and he's married and settled in nairobi but he couldn't live without his country's national sport so he brought it with him and filled his suitcases with pads pucks and home it's when he came. he says it's worth it just to see the players love for his favorite sport. here everyone's motivated so people move up the learning curve
1:42 am
. you were to teach me something once and they're doing it the next time you pay for it created my biggest dream of votes they can now write to you just to see them play i mean fix one day maybe a few chapters just to act so i hope i didn't say i was. and she follows the rest of her dreams with just as much determination faith already has a bachelor's degree and is now doing an internship with a company in the financial sector at the same time she has set up a small company of her own making and selling healthy juice drinks she says although kenya's economy is growing good jobs are hard to come by. experience i think it's difficult for graduates to get a job because. he was producing dollars of graduates and the job market is so limited for. oil the graduates who will put his baby was it. fate hopes

to be a role model for other young women and girls in her country. if i participate in hawking find a way business i can also assure girls that it's possible. kenyan ice hockey has its origins here at a parking lot in downtown nairobi which the off towards close off every sunday to make room for roller bladers and roller hockey players here even the youngest generation can learn the basics of skating that they might go on to use on the ice this is also where the team spirit was born say many of the staters here who also play for the ice lions. and this is where it all started for face to. the 1st day was the beach where i was that you 2 were going to ask it because i used to fall a lot and get injuries that tree just for one week until they've been good but now she's got the skating by the team even organize the 1st ever east african ice

hockey tournament the other teams are mainly made up of ex-pats nady and american and european enthusiasts it's a fully fledged tournaments complete with a trophy and referee and what the fan base likes the numbers it makes up for in enthusiasm the lions put up a spirited fight in reach the final versus the usa there are level pegging for much of the game but the lions have to settle for 2nd place. on a future the game has a future here we played well and if we keep it up and train even harder we will go far. a world of opportunity is opening up for young kenyans that what better way to pursue that them by bringing one of the north's most iconic sports here to the sun baked equator. japan has one of the world's lowest birth rates in 2018 a man's 7.4 babies were born for every 1000 citizens the global average is around

18 for many years japan's population has been declining and it's also unevenly distributed the number of people in urban centers is growing in 2018 more than 91 percent of japanese people lived in cities meanwhile every 7th house in rural areas stands empty. u.g. tanaka is busy cleaning bugs might scare away potential purchasers of the property this house would cost between $4.70 euros if it were in tokyo except it isn't it's hours away in the provinces that's why it's on the market for just one yen. somebody has to help sell properties like this that no realtor is interested in taking on i'm not out to make money i do it to help us. we're going to visit the family u.g. time market help them buy a house in the country its location is so remote our sat nav gets confused about 8

1:48 am
spring water pumped from deep in the rock. when we get tired working on the house we come here to enjoy the view and take a hot bath. just 13 families were interested in acquiring this house but the sellers on the matter just hit it off. huge you tanaka doesn't make any money brokering one yen homes he usually sells luxury apartments in tokyo he does this as a service trying to prevent villages in the countryside from being abandoned he gets about 30 inquiries a week because. having a country house used to be a status symbol in japan. during the property boom lots of weekend homes were built but now many are just standing empty though they continue to cost their owners hundreds of euro's a month. he tells us some owners can't
1:49 am
afford to tear their houses down and just leave them to rot. there are more and more such cases it's becoming a serious problem there are fires and accidents and roofs get blown off by the wind not. the one yet homes can solve rural japan's glut of empty houses but you do time market is glad to do his part. now in global ideas we take a look at a creature which perhaps more than any other is a symbol of some of the butterfly butterflies play a crucial role in the pollination of many plants in costa rica the winged beauties are being bred on butterfly farms and flown to destinations around the world. the butterflies are a symbol of life and change they're constantly transforming from an egg to
1:50 am
a larva to a caterpillar a christless and then the butterfly the butterfly stage is the shortest in life 2 it can take time to fulfill your dreams but it's worth it then to enjoy the fulfillment of those dreams. after suffering serious back problems jenny because was no longer able to continue her office. it was then that she discovered her love of butterflies which opened up a new job opportunity now she works 10 hours a day breeding the insects she spends a lot of that time searching the leaves of plants for butterfly eggs and caterpillars. it allows me to live in harmony with nature and help protect the environment without plants and nature there would be something missing in our lives this work helps me to relax and gives me a sense of calm. she breeds 10 different
1:51 am
species of butterfly all of which are destined for export. not long ago jenny because and her family moved to this frankenstein i'm on right near the coast or we can capital san jose. she needed more space for the large number of plants on which her butterflies depend. each species of butterfly lays its eggs on a particular plant these are known as host plants then they also need flowers with nectar or pollen. some $400.00 kosta rican families now earn their living as a butterfly farmers. the country is home to several 1000 species of butterfly coast erika's supports an enormous variety of wildlife and has one of the highest levels of biodiversity in the world. the
1:52 am
farmers work with companies that are specialized in export. they send out butterfly chrysalis is all over the world. i don't. exist we want to know exactly where the butterflies ago and what they'll be used for. we can't export them just for the sake of it we need to know how they'll be treated that's the ethical standard we have in our company and that we pass on to the other export is. what the butterflies are ambassadors of beauty of the nature of our country. so we have to be sure that they can fulfill this function at their intended destinations. that. this company alone sends out 30000 chrysalis is every week they have 70 different species all of which are transported by air. they mainly go to paternal gardens and
1:53 am
butterfly sanctuaries in places like the united states and also europe and russia. the company is only able to offer so many species because it works with breeders all over costa rica. in the last most of them are in areas where there are hardly any jobs or only jobs that are damaging to the environment. butterfly farming on the other hand is about protecting the environment. because an entomologist from the university of custer rica aims to promote environmentally friendly jobs in rural areas. as part of his work he advises butterfly farmers. to breed these insects you have to protect the forest here we have 2 hectares of
1:54 am
forest was out of we wouldn't be able to breed butterflies here so maintaining the right environment is key. it's better flies can only live in intact ecosystems but this practice of breeding them commercially and exporting them all over the world has critics butterfly farming involves removing plants from the wild for example and when transported by plane the insects are subject to physical changes in temperature says that's not such a problem. butterflies can't feel pain the insects don't have the neural receptors to do that they do sense mechanical impulses but not pain as we know what their nervous system is different so it's not cruel. his commander says it's mainly women who break the butterfly says women like these 4 sisters he also advises. butterflies are their world.
1:55 am
they've chosen to specialize in 2 particular species. the giant alberta fly which is as big as the palm of your hand. and the glass when butterfly together the sisters earn around $800.00 a month that's a good income here in a rural community where many people have little school education but looking like that we wouldn't be able to find a job otherwise not a well paid one anyway but here as long as we work hard we can earn well and we are our own boss. about 50 years ago kusturica began establishing national parks and reserves where biodiversity especially protected that's allowed butterfly farming to flourish here and harmony with nature and help preserve these amazing insects which embody the diversity and vulnerability of coaster rico's wildlife.
