If women produce goods but men sell them in the market and keep profits what issue exists?

Correct answer: Gender inequality in value chain control

A value chain includes the connected stages through which a product moves, such as obtaining materials, producing goods, processing them, transporting them, selling them, and receiving income. In the example, women do the production but men control the market sale and keep the profits. This means women’s labour contributes value, while control over pricing, customers, money, and decisions remains unequal.

Option A is correct because it identifies gender inequality in control of the value chain. The issue is not simply whether women work; it is whether they receive fair recognition, income, ownership, and decision-making power. Complete self-employment would require greater control by the producers themselves. Age safety and child participation do not describe the unequal distribution of market power shown here.
