Wage of 22 per cent of women compared to 14 per cent for men- Gender inequalities due to men having more human capital- Men develop more human capital by having more education and investing in extra work that allows them to develop extra skills and qualifications- women's human capital is limited because they are stuck in the home and ofpt for career breaks to look after their children- Men are paid more due to having more human capital- Rastogi- human capital as 'knowledge, competency, attitude and behaviour embedded as an individual'- used to support Functionalist views on the meritocracy with the argument that men and women serve different roles and functions in society and rewarded in different ways.

Absorb anger that could otherwise be directed at capitalism often through sexual and physical violence- stop a revolution taking place by stopping anger being directed at the capitalist system- experience triple shift- Capitalism perpetuates as the bourgeoisie carry on ruling the proletariat supporting a proletariat style relationship as women work for free creating next generation of workers

Women benefit capitalism by providing unpaid labour- experience dual burden- wife looks after husband by caring for him so is less likely to challenge the capitalist system- If women were paid, there would be a huge re-distribution in wealth- still relevant today as women take out time to be housewives

Reserve army of labour, paid low wages and have low promotional opportunity's- hired and fired as the economy dictates- more women are employed at Christmas time when more workers are needed- to less likely being unionised, less able to resist redundancy- Unemployed married women may not be eligible to receive state benefits if their husbands are working

Inequality began when capitalism started up so women's subordinate position is results of ownership of private property- Women are ignored because men's aim is continuing their legacy by passing down their private property to their sons- experience enforced monogamy and restricted sexuality as only way man can make sure baby is his- Exploiter-exploited relationship that occurs between the bourgeoisie and proletariat is translated to the household between men and women

Women are the expressive role looking after the children and being the housewife- men are the instrumental role being the breadwinner- roles are socialised from childhood- benefits society as children are taught societies norms and values through socialisation so that their is not chaos- nuclear family is essential and is the foundation of society- differences are innate, ascribed at birth helping contribute to functional society- women are less motivation so less suited to labour market meaning paid less

Marxist Feminists- Women disadvantaged by capitalism and patriarchy as women have to look after the children and the husband preparing them for the workplace to continue capitalism- In the workplace, women fulfil low paid and deskilled roles as well as being part of the reserve army of labour continuing capitalism as women have to be dependent on their husbands in order to have money

Gender inequality due to capitalism- Natural for women to cook, clean and sew and is passed down through the family to breed new generations who buy capitalist products- Gender differences makes a divide in society which distracts away from the real problem of capitalism makes a weaker group that are less likely to rebel against powerful bourgeoisie

Women located in the home due to biological function of childbearing and physique meant they were less able to perform strenuous tasks- Nuclear family was found in 250 societies so is universal- gender roles are beneficial for both genders

Gender inequality is functional for society and is due to biological differences- women give birth naturally and therefore should naturally look after children whereas men should go into the workplace
