Question
Explain the concept of gender stratification.
✓
Answer
Gender stratification refers to socially unequal division into femininity and masculinity.
It is not only related to the difference between males and females and to individual identity and personality but also at symbolic level, to cultural ideals and stereotypes of masculinity and femininity at the structural level, to the sexual division of labour in institutions and organisations.
