A
Men are more likely to be employed in outdoor jobs that involve physical labor.
💡 Explanation:
The gendered division of labor is a social construct that assigns different roles and responsibilities to men and women. In the context of environmental sustainability, this division of labor often results in men being more involved in outdoor jobs that involve physical labor, such as forestry, construction, and mining, while women are more likely to be involved in indoor jobs that involve caregiving, such as cooking, cleaning, and childcare.
