Answer: the example that is meaningful is the gender pay gap that is when a woman is pay less than a man for the same job.

Explanation: Feminization of poverty is a phenomenon referring to the widening gap between women and men caught in a sequence of economic deprivation and scarcity. This phenomenon is not only a consequence of lack of income, but is also the outcome of the deprivation of capabilities and gender biases present in both societies and governments. It covers the poverty of choices and chances such as the ability to lead a long, healthy, and creative life, and having basic rights like freedom, respect, and dignity.
