what is meant of the gender division of labour?

Question

sociology

Answer 1

means an overall societal pattern where women are allotted one set of gender roles, and men allotted another set. Unequal gender division of labour refers to a gender division of labour where there is an unequal gender division of reward. Discrimination against women in this sense means that women get most of the burden of labour, and most of the unpaid labour, but men collect most of the income and rewards resulting from the labour. In many countries, the most obvious pattern in the gender division of labour is that women are mostly confined to unpaid domestic work and unpaid food production, whereas men dominate in cash crop production and wage employment.

Answer 2

Well, clearly, they shouldn't be divided by gender... I do want to say, however, that equality does not mean sameness. There are differences between men and women, and those differences make for a healthy and productive balance in our society...we shouldn't ignore them. For any position requiring physical strength or special skills, there are - and should be - identical entrance exams for both genders. And if a woman can pass them, she should be granted the position. Same thing with men...
