Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gender stratification refers to the hierarchical ranking of men and women in societies. This ranking is based on cultural norms and values that assign different roles, opportunities, and resources based on one's gender. It underlies the differences in levels of status and relations of power between men and women across cultures. Gendered empowerment, sexual division of labor, and sex differentiation are all related concepts but do not fully capture the complexity of gender stratification.
