Similarities in Life Quality
Both Germany and Italy focused on expansion and territorial takeover, with both countries aiming to follow a "Lebensraum" policy. Essentially, both countries were aiming to build an empire, and were willing to do such by force.
Women as a whole were both regarded as "stay at home" in both countries, with Germany aiming to provide incentive for founding a family. This would eventually lead to the idea of the "Three Ks", a terrible policy that sent women to work in the Kitchen, follow the Kuerche, and to found a family with Kinder.
Quality of Life was similar in both countries, with unemployment being awkwardly placed within Germany itself. Coming out of the first World War, Germany was under harsh fire economically, with end of the Second World War eventually causing Germany to quickly fall in terms of employment.
Education in both Germany and Italy was mainly focused on creating the support of the state as a whole. Children were often focused on being able to fight, and were trained to follow the ideas of the state as a whole. Mathematics and other subjects were mainly placed as side-subjects, with both states mainly educating in favor of the Fascist party.
Overview
Life in both countries was both harsh and unfeasible for certain groups of people, with particular groups being at the forefront of both discrimination and harsh backlash due to public leaders initiating acts of hatred.
Oftentimes, women were not treated with the equal amount of opportunities as men were, meaning that they were often times pushed towards the three Ks - Kueche, Kirche and Kinder.
Unemployment leading up to WW2 was still not fully recovered from the first World War, and was still an eventual factor that greatly spiraled after the Second World War was won by the United States of America.
Some found the harsh and expansionist fascist leaders awkwardly charismatic for undetermined reasons, leading them to follow the Fascist parties on both countries due their personal views on the party themselves.
Both party leaders at the time oftentimes utilized force in order to push for a particular action, meaning that many were injured or even killed. An example of using fear was Mussolini's group of raids for example, to which Mussolini made it falsely apparent that he "did not directly associate with them", but was able to stop the riots if he gained power.
