Abstract

We analyze the relationship between social gender norms and adolescents' occupational choices by combining regional votes on constitutional amendments on gender equality with job application data from a large job board for apprenticeships. The results show that adolescent males in regions with stronger traditional social gender norms are more likely to apply for typically male occupations. This finding does not hold for females, suggesting that incentivizing men to break the norms and choose gender-atypical occupations (e.g., in healthcare) can be even more effective in accelerating advancement toward gender equality in the labor market than incentivizing women to choose STEM occupations.

社会规范和男女的性别职业选择:是时候扭转局面了吗?
我们将性别平等宪法修正案的地区投票与大型学徒就业委员会的就业申请数据相结合,分析了社会性别规范与青少年职业选择之间的关系。研究结果表明,在传统社会性别规范较强的地区,青春期男性更有可能申请典型的男性职业。这一发现不适用于女性,表明激励男性打破规范,选择性别非典型职业(如医疗保健),在加速劳动力市场性别平等方面比激励女性选择STEM职业更有效。
