Equality of African Caribbean Family
Sutton and Makiesky-Barrow article identifies a number of equalities and inequalities, within a community in Barbados. Men and women within the community have remarkable equality to resources. Both sexes were able to gain status on their participation on the economy, occupation structure and independences to economic and social resources. In the social occupational structures, women contributed just as much as men. Both men and women equally contributed to occupation structures with the exception of the agricultural labours. As Sutton and Makiesky-Barrow mentions this market has a stigma remaining from slavery with a lack of equality between the sexes. Apart from agricultural labour, other occupation such as skilled “suga-factory” workers was mainly dominated by men, and the domestic servants were mainly dominated by women. The women wage structures were much lower at this level of occupation which foster inequality between males and females. As you move up the occupational hierarchy, sex typing is eliminated.
