AI-generated practice question — model-generated for extra practice, not a previous-year CBSE board question.
Two sectors where the wage gap is observed are agriculture/fields and factories/industries.
This discrimination persists because of deep-rooted patriarchal attitudes that undervalue women's work, and because women's domestic burden limits their bargaining power. Social stereotypes treat women as secondary earners, making it easier for employers to pay them less despite the law.
The source passage directly states: "in almost all areas of work, from sports and cinema, to factories and fields, women are paid less than men, even when both do exactly the same work." Use examples directly from the text (factories and fields/agriculture). For the 'why' part, link it to patriarchy and the undervaluation of women's work — also discussed in the chapter. Examiners expect one or two specific sector examples and a brief reason; do not over-explain.
