Document Summary
While men were responsible for material needs. Industrialization made traditional division of labor less functional, belief system remains: conflict perspective, continued domination by males requires a belief system that supports gender inequality, two beliefs: Women are more valuable at home: symbolic interactionist perspective, gender and gender roles are learned through socialization process. Women are socialized into expressive roles, which associated with nurturing and supporting. Education dividend: additional benefit of universal education for women is that it reduces the death rate of children under 5 years of age. Literacy rates worldwide indicate that women are less likely to be able to read and write due to denied access to basic education. Women earn fewer advanced degrees than men because they are socialized to choose marriage and family-building over careers: work and structural sexism. About half of women are in the paid, formal labor force compared to nearly 80 percent of men. (ilo, 2015)
