Question

A system in which all work inside the home is either done by the women of the family, or organised by them through the domestic helpers _______________.

• A. Domestic system
• B. Female system of labour
• C. Sexual division of labour
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C Sexual division of labour

Boys and girls are brought up to believe that the main responsibility of women is housework and bringing up children. This is reflected in a sexual division of labour in most families: women do all work inside the home such as cooking, cleaning, washing clothes, tailoring, looking after children, etc., and men do all the work outside the home.
