Answer 1

A. female dominated working poor occupations.

Step-by-step explanation:

As a general rule, Occupations that require skills in STEM (such as doctors, Engineers, such as architect) generally pay higher compared to occupations that are social-related. (such as kindergarten teacher, Social workers, etc)

The data provided in lecture on gender inequality by income/occupation/class showed that Occupations on STEM field are generally dominated by males (72% Men and 28% Women).

Women dominated in occupations that are social-related which typically pay less than STEM-related occupations (83% women and 17% men)
