houses what's the solution. and in costa rica people in rural communities are running a living farming butterflies which are in great demand around the world. europe and asia and leading trade partner but how similar of the 2 continents when it comes to social justice own working conditions more or less comparable what kind of jobs to people do and what rights do they have 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. all a bank put it on the web morning at my day begins at 4 am i get up make breakfast and lunch for later. i wake up my daughter bathe her and to her hair. if i need.

a mission that. my company allows me to bring my daughter into work with me i don't know what that's really supportive of course i'm. 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 work secular skaar brothers a company that manufactures palms at this site it hires mechanics a profession that elsewhere is dominated by men but here since early twenty's 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 at a regular job today just over 23 percent of them do you know the words almost 4 out 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 also most dedicated and they had a presence and they have a wonderful crisis management so what are the solutions or what are the problems they see as they come to the solution and just as a manager got to be just that. 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 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 6. i started that made this company all that's quite innocent running so no cities and schools just because i wanted to feel 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 india equality often only exists on paper that makes a company like yellow 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. 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 and your situation to decide to develop you have all the roles so that's the key factor you know in the situation what do you have practicing people in that way being powerful something that girls sexuality 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. he 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 for. 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 screaming for police to deal with all this so when you are grown up scream if you have something important to say and dive in when needed. though it might seem like it the only school approach isn't about keeping girls and boys apart the game is to prepare the children for a life in which quality you seem as the most natural thing in the world. and now from close to the north pole we head south to the equator wearing kenya's capital nairobi a 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. but now there are the ice lions and fakes so how is one of the few women players on the team. really but i mean because we know many show it is because we only have these 3 things you know are there so even if you get your question or you didn't come back. with it and you know that you have. the team is 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 puck meaning to make what people are decided to become a goalkeeper because it suits my personality. and i'll be doing it for the rest of

marmar that is the i george has to be pretty fearless outside the rink too he makes a living driving one of kenya's legendary boda boda 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 helmet. the job. it's a good job to keep your head above water but there are a lot of downsides but the crazy traffic the frequent accidents that. george earns enough to afford a small apartment for himself he preferred 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. demons

a job 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 boat out at the same time fetes a polo is on the bus making her way to the rink chute she also has to contend with nairobi's gridlocked roads get a pass on it walk back a bit of a campaign might have. 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 cole. 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 so fast you want to teach every something once and they're doing it the next time you pay your credit my biggest dream up vote because now i swear to you just to see them play a few weeks one day in the near future could do that so i hope i dream sometimes i think. 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 2 strings 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 it. was

a teaser producing dots of graduates and the job market is so limited for. all the graduates who put his. faith hopes to be a role model for other young women and girls in her country. if a participating find a way business i can also assure that it's possible. kenyan ice hockey has its origins here at a parking lot in downtown nairobi which the authorities 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 skaters here who also play for the ice lions. and this is where it all started for face to. the 1st day was a beach where there was that you 2 were going to skate because they used to fall

a lot and get injuries that we just for one week until they've been good but now she's got the skating bug the team even organized the 1st ever east african ice hockey tournament the other teams are mainly made up of ex-pats canadian american and european and physios 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 beach the final versus the usa they're all 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

birthrates 2018 amana 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 and 700000 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 but no realtor is interested in taking on i'm not out to make money i do it to help. we're going to

visit the family u.g. tanaka help them buy a house in the country its location is so remote our sat nav gets confused about 8 and a half 1000000 houses are standing empty in rural regions of japan the population is trying to. spend the week in tokyo the parents have office jobs there but country house with a tranquil refuge for the weekends. you and i decided to factor was the price. we are wealthy so i thought buying a house for one year and then renovating it slowly would be a dream come true i don't know what he did. with 3 children and a dog it's not always peaceful still it's different from the city and friends like to visit kilometers it's wonderful looking out at the landscape i'm jealous i don't it's a wonderful escape from every day life is not the way. for the sellers the

house had become a burden even standing empty it cost them $300.00 euros a month. the mutts of course are installing a small kitchen in a lower story. anyone can use a hammer here and it isn't all that hard. it doesn't have to be perfect. in some areas the local authorities offer subsidies for renovations here and he got the mutts are doing the work themselves. in the city i enjoy doing this kind of work it's very relaxing. not the ideal stress therapy. what's more that's a fresh breeze and a beautiful view of the sea. yesterday i asked the kids to write me about it but i got so engrossed in my work that i forgot all about it. just like it.

is 2 stories further down in the hillside house in the bath which is fed with hot 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. last 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 you know how to kick off they're not. he tells us some of those can't 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 . the one yen homes can't 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 wind beauties are being bred on butterfly farms and flown to destinations around the world.

one of the butterflies are a symbol of life and change they're constantly transforming from an egg to 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 job it was then that she discovered her love of butterflies which opened up a new job opportunity now she works 10 hours a day braving 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 species of butterfly all of which are destined for export. not long ago jenny because and her family moved to this fink and stand. right near the coast rican capital san jose. she needed more space for the large number of plants on which her butterflies depend. but the money each species of butterfly lays its eggs on a particular plant these are known as host plants and they also need flowers with nectar or pollen. some $400.00 coaster 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 farmers work with companies that are specialized in export. they send out butterfly chrysalis is all over the world. exist we want to know exactly where the butterflies are going 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 without getting on. 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 town to call gardens and 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 coaster reka. in so another in the last most of them are in areas where there are hardly any jobs or only jobs that are damaging to the environment with 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 to hector's a forest once 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 exploiting 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 it they're nervous system is different. it's not cruel. i his commander says

it's mainly women who break the butterflies women like these 4 sisters he also advises. butterflies are their world. they've chosen to specialize in 2 particular species. the giant albert a 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 looked 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 coaster reka 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 coast to rico's wildlife. and that's all from us at global 3000 this week if you have any comment so feedback do drop us a line to global 3000 at g.w. dot com and don't forget you can check us out on facebook to. see you safe.
