Ultimately, over the exceptionally long term, as automation removes the need to work, the solution is to move to a leisure-based society in which everyone is given equal stipends and allow optionally working up to, say, 10 hours per week to earn more, thus removing the problem entirely.
Although that solution may be roughly on the scale of "ultimately, the great heat death of the universe will make the problem moot."

What if we see basket weaving dominated by women and ham baking dominated by men? Is it free choice? Genetics? Physiological? Cultural? What about the indirect imbalances resulting from the choice of work, like one role creating a reusable tool and one creating a consumable resource?
