Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that women continue to be underrepresented in higher-paying and traditionally male-dominated fields, such as engineering and computer science, and are overrepresented in lower-paying and traditionally female-dominated fields, such as teaching and healthcare. This perpetuates gender stereotypes that certain career paths are more appropriate for men or women, and can limit opportunities for individuals who do not conform to these stereotypes.
