How can gender division in agricultural work affect wages and opportunities?

Correct answer: It can undervalue some tasks and create unequal wages and opportunities

In agriculture, women and men are often assigned different tasks. If tasks such as transplanting, weeding or harvesting, often done by women, are treated as less skilled or less important, workers may receive lower wages and fewer opportunities for training, use of machinery or decision-making. Therefore, option B is correct. Option C is incorrect because gender division does not automatically make wages equal or double them. Exam tip: use the terms ‘undervaluation of work’, ‘wage gap’ and ‘unequal opportunities’.
