Gender and Choice in Education and Occupation Summary

This book challenges the myth of androgynous work and presents the latest research on 'brainsex' and its effects on personality, education and choice. It also offers practical ways of improving the fairness of the selection processes.

<P>Despite many years of improved equality of opportunity, around 90% of nurses are female, and 90% of engineers are male. <i>Gender and Choice in Education and Occupation</i> challenges the myth of androgynous work and presents cutting-edge research on "brainsex" and its effects on personality, education and choice. It examines intra-sex differences as well as male-female differences and similarities, and targets job attributes, work flexibility, long term life planning, home-work conflict, prestige versus occupational interest, and intrinsic motivational mechanisms to explain the relative failure of intervention policies to date. The contributors who come from a wide range of academic and professional experience, review the empirical literature in relation to socialization, sex stereotyping, class and race, and offer practical ways of improving fairness in selection processes.</P>
