Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Gender division and sexual division correspond with each other. The sexual division of labour often creates gender roles in society. Gender division means dividing work, responsibilities, and duties among people according to gender. For example, there is a stereotype in society that domestic work is to be done only by women, and outside work is to be done by the men of the family. Therefore, it creates a sexual division of labour. Numerous employment opportunities and services are divided by society based on gender. For example, women are considered weak and inferior to perform heavy workload services like defence and other jobs that men can do. Even when both are doing the same or similar jobs in the same conditions, women are still paid less than men because of discrimination against them.
