bet any money. on there that i will be doing that by the my company allows me to bring my daughter into work with me but i know what that's really supportive of course little more than. going out 3 lives with her husband and daughter in the southern indian state of tommy will now 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. long the child spends the day in the company nursery. 3 work said kilo scar brothers a company that manufactures pumps 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

a round of 3rd of indian women legally able to work and 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 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 face become the solution and just as a manager. in iceland it's late morning when the winter sun finally emerges over the horizon shooting at least a little daylight in the capital rekick but at this preschool in the district of

love for spork they've been wide awake for hours. 30 years ago my great starter founded a private school the knish they have 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 jali in iceland has grown into a kind of movement. i started that biggest company all this kind innocent running so no cities and schools just because i wanted to feel and that's really meant and creates 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's some 70 percent of icelandic women of
3:35 am
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 but you can't change with affordable meals and a company nursery. the children are even allowed to eat with their mothers at lunch time wages are also consistent with those paid to men who work at other companies in the sector. and 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
3:36 am
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
3:37 am
mostly women they have to play all the roles so we have to practice everything so it's up to us and you are put in the situation to decide to develop you have all the roles so that's the key factor you want in the situation what do you have practicing. 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. 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
3:38 am
jam with my friends it's really fun. please i want my kids have the courage to raise their voice and say what they mean and when they're training to jump down and screaming for the word also when who are grown up scream 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 game 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 where in 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
3:39 am
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 feet so hollow is one of the few women players on the team. really but i mean because you know maybe show it is because. we only have these 3 these you know so even if you get your question i used to come back. with you 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 hard 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
3:40 am
marmaris that is the. 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. and the job and. it's a good job to keep your head above water but there are a lot of downsides that 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. the man is
3:41 am
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 about out at the same time face to follow us on the bus making her way to the rink shoot she also has to contend with nairobi's gridlocked roads yeah i saw it walk but it never came up. for the 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. he 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
3:42 am
and hametz 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 me something once and they're doing it the next time we play you may biggest dream up both speaking out tonight to you just to see them play or you fix one day in the near future was just the fact 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 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
3:43 am
a job. producing dogs of graduates and the job market is so limited for. all the graduates who. fate 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 us that it's possible that. 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 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 skate because i used
3:44 am
to fall a lot and get injuries that we just for one week until the pain goes 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-pat canadian american and european enthusiasts it's a fully fledged tournaments complete with a trophy and referee and what the fanbase lacks in numbers it makes up for in enthusiasm the lions put up a spirited fight in reach 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 where game has a future here we played well and if we keep it up and train even harder we will go far. then my mother 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
3:45 am
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 us. we're going
3:46 am
to visit the family u.g. to nocca 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 is a tranquil refuge for the weekends. you've 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 did not. grow with 3 children and a dog it's not always peaceful still it's different from the city and friends like to visit me to it's wonderful looking out at the landscape i'm jealous i don't it's a wonderful escape from everyday life was not the way. for the cellars the
3:47 am
house had become a burden even standing empty it cost them $300.00 euros a month. the months of course are installing a small kitchen in a lower story. anyone can use a hammer. on and it isn't all that hard on the. it doesn't have to be perfect. in some areas the local authorities offer subsidies for renovations here and he got the muscles are doing the work themselves. 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. it was 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.
3:48 am
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 months of 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
3:49 am
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 the not there he tells us some owners 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 u.g. to america 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 and 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.
3:50 am
so. 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. 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
3:51 am
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 take has and her family moved to this pink and stand 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 and they also need flowers with nectar or pollen. some $400.00 kuster we can families now earn their living as a butterfly farmers the country is home to several 1000 species of butterfly coast
3:52 am
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. 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. where 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 the web. this company alone
3:53 am
sends out 30000 chrysalis every week. they have 70 different species all of which are transported by air. they mainly go to botanical 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. in. most of them are in areas where there are hardly any jobs or any jobs that are damaging to the environment. to fly 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 advised his butterfly farmers.
3:54 am
to bring these insects you have to protect the forest here we have to hector's a forest was out of we wouldn't be able to breed butterflies here so maintaining the right environment is. just better flies can only live an 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 though they do sense mechanical impulses but pain as we know what they're nervous system is different. it's not cruel. i on mondays he says
3:55 am
it's mainly women who breed the butterfly says women like these 4 sisters he also advises. butterflies are their world. they've chosen to specialize in 2 particular species. the giant alberta flight 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 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 custer rica 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
