Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The functionalist perspective views gender inequality as a result of biological and social differences that lead to different roles for men and women, and thus different levels of training and education. From this perspective, women's lower earnings are explained by their lower levels of training and education, rather than by discrimination or oppression.
