Hypothesis
Environmental harshness (inadequate food and hunger) will be positively associated with childhood gender inequality (65); it will be less correlated with adult gender inequality.
Note
Hunger was significant in one measure of childhood inequality and both measures of adulthood inequality (Child p<.05, rho=.27; Adult p<.05, rho=.23 and .32).
