Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is: Less than 25 percent.

Explanation:

Less than 25% of individuals employed as chief executives, architects, engineers, clergy, dentists, firefighters, police, correctional officers, construction workers, machinists, carpenters, and truck drivers are women.

This is due to multiple factors research suggests.

One could be biological differences between sexes, men being more prone to engage in certain kinds of jobs that require certain abilities, skills and personality traits historically and biologically associated with them.

There are also societal expectations that consider that women may not have the same leadership abilities as their male counterparts.

These factors and much more contribute to the fact that women make up less than 25 percent of the historically male-dominated jobs listed here.
