"According to the survey, respondents have a clear idea of gender stereotypes in society and also identified areas where women are under-employed."

Is the sentence correct or it needs the subject pronoun "they" after "and" in the second clause?

and another question:

"Also, 43.8% of the respondents think that the local population, especially women, are not involved in discussing gender issues and drafting a policy document, which is a problem for a significant part of the respondents (80%)."

'are not involved in discussing gender issues and drafting a policy document'

can this predicate be replaced by "are not involved in the discussion of gender issues and the drafting of a policy document"? Which is more proper?

Thanks for help.

Hi, DT—Yes, that sentence is correct as written. Ellipsis is not involved, however. You're just seeing two coordiated verb phrases, as in "He runs and swims."

Yes, both formulations can be used. Neither is more proper than the other.
