If girls are not taught financial literacy and boys are not taught household skills what problem remains?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Gendered life-skill gap
When girls are not taught skills such as money management and boys are not taught household skills such as cooking, cleaning and caregiving, both groups have incomplete life skills. This maintains a gendered life-skill gap and reinforces traditional gender roles. Option A may be a social outcome, but the central problem in the question is the unequal distribution of skills by gender. Exam tip: Choose the option that identifies the root inequality in access to skills.
