Foraging societies and industrial societies can be compared in terms of gender roles and stratification.
In foraging societies, gender roles are often more egalitarian, with both men and women contributing to the gathering of food and resources. There is less stratification based on gender, as both men and women are valued for their contributions to the group. However, there may still be some division of labor based on gender, with men typically engaging in hunting and women engaging in gathering.
In contrast, industrial societies often have more rigid gender roles and stratification. With the rise of industrialization, there was a shift towards a more patriarchal society, where men were seen as the primary breadwinners and women were expected to take on domestic roles. This led to a greater stratification based on gender, with men holding more power and authority in the public sphere, while women were relegated to the private sphere.
Overall, foraging societies tend to have more flexible gender roles and less stratification based on gender, while industrial societies tend to have more rigid gender roles and greater stratification based on gender.
