Answer 1

Answer:

The Division of labour in society has always been a criterion for the division of work on the basis of specialization. Sexual division of labour means specialized roles of men as compared to women. Women have been assigned or denied work in society solely based on sex differentiation while male strata continue to enjoy monopoly out of this discrimination.

They have equality of opportunity in the matter of appointment and various legislation have been enacted e.g., The Equal Remuneration Act, The Maternity Benefit Act to ensure employment of women without any discrimination.
