Gender Stratification Essay
According to Helsin, Possamai and Possamai–Inesedy (2011 p. 625) gender stratification occurs when a
specific gender has unequal access to power, property and prestige. As gender is classed as a master status
it forms a significant structural characteristic within society (Helsin, Possamai & Possamai–Inesedy 2011,
p. 310). Therefore, it is society, through social construction that determines what gender norms are
considered appropriate and can be passed through generations of people via agents of socialisation such
as family, mass media or in the form of symbolic interaction (Macionis & Plummer 1997, pp. 139–141).

Evidence 1
Table 1 outlines the number of Australians who received an inheritance and is split according to gender. It
displays that women are not receiving inheritances during the crucial age that they (see boxed area) are
seeking property ownership, and establishing careers.
Evidence 2
Furthermore, there appears to be a lack of women in leadership and decision making roles which is
demonstrated by a study conducted by Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation (RIRDC).
They discovered that during 2006 to 2007, no women in rural organisations held Chief Executive Officer
positions, and under 16 per cent of the members were women (Sheridan & McKenzie 2009, p. 13).
Evidence 3
Further inequality is outlined in Table 2, which shows that women in professional and manager positions
are unemployed at higher rates compared to men. However, it also display that women achieve higher
rates of employment in education and health care positions. This is consistent with the 'soft roles' that
women in rural agriculture are generally employed in, highlighted in pink.
