The Gendered Division of Labor
The division of labor is gendered: women and men specialize in different types of work. Jobs themselves display a division of labor between women and men, with certain professions being (highly) dominated by members of one group or the other. There is much disagreement when it comes to the factors explaining this phenomenon and its evaluation: Is the gendered division of labor desirable, and are its consequences fair? Most of this chapter provides a general overview of the questions that bear on the potential resolution of these debates. It then turns to the disagreement about what to do about the gendered division of labor and about justifications for policies aimed at changing it.
