Detailed Solution

None of the above is a result of the sexual division of labour.
Boys and girls are raised to believe that women's primary responsibilities are caring for the home and raising children. The sexual division of labour in the majority of families reflects this. This division of labour has the effect of giving women in most civilizations minimal involvement in public life, notably politics, even though they make up half of humanity. In the past, only men could vote, participate in politics, and run for public office. In a similar vein, fewer female students pursue further education. Girls drop out because parents would rather spend their money on the education of their sons than equally. It is clear why there are so few women in highly compensated and desirable positions.
