Expert Solution

Public administration, a career strongly related to sociology, has a reasonably gender-neutral distribution of professionals. The field of public administration exhibits gender-neutral distribution, but data show that despite the fact that women make up nearly half of the workforce, they earn significantly less than their male counterparts, emphasizing the need for fair pay and gender equality in the industry.
