​Postindustrial societies face many changes in the division of labor by gender. With which system are they most commonly associated today?

A) ​dual sex configuration
B) ​segregated pattern
C) ​flexible/integrated pattern
D) ​rebounding pattern

Postindustrial societies are commonly associated with a flexible/integrated pattern of gender division of labor, in which individuals have the freedom to choose their occupation regardless of gender, and jobs are no longer rigidly categorized as masculine or feminine. This is because postindustrial societies have shifted away from traditional manufacturing and agriculture-based industries towards service-based industries, which require a wider range of skills and education. This has resulted in a more diverse and flexible workforce, where individuals are judged on their abilities and qualifications rather than gender.
