In media platforms, such as television and video games, women tend to be portrayed in an underrepresented way. Women in video games are often depicted as characters in need of assistance or in positions that are either submissive or helpful. More than 80% of female characters in video game magazines are objectified, under dressed, observed with charm, while more than a fifth fall into all three categories.

The rise in female labor force participation can be due to a number of factors. Anti-discrimination laws, growing international emphasis on women's rights, greater accessibility to education and job opportunities, a breakdown of conventional gender roles, reduced economic reliance on men, and affordable housing are all factors that lead to women's changing position in the workforce.
