Answer 1

Explanation:

$\huge \bf \purple{✿Answer✿}$

1. a. The sexual division of labour (SDL) is the delegation of different tasks between males and females. Among human foragers, males and females target different types of foods and share them with each other for a mutual or familial benefit.

b. Feminism, the belief in social, economic, and political equality of the sexes. Although largely originating in the West, feminism is manifested worldwide and is represented by various institutions committed to activity on behalf of women's rights and interests.

2. The public and private divisions are made in the earlier stages of life when the role of men in public was more dominant than the role of women. The women were not given preference in regards to education and politics and their role was limited to within the houses.

3. (i)The literacy rate among women is only 54 per cent as compared to 76 per cent among men. This is because women are deprived of an equal access to education as the males in the society. Even a very small percentage of girls go for higher education and drop-out rate is also higher among the girls.

(ii)Proportion of women in highly paid jobs is very small. On an average Indian woman works an hours more than a man. Yet much of her work is not paid and therefore often not valued.

(iii)The preference to male child over the female child has led to sex selective abortion. This has lowered sex ratio in India.
