Despite many years of ostensible equality between the sexes in educational provision and occupational opportunity, sex segregation persists in both educational subject choice and in occupations: for example, around ninety per cent of nurses are female, and ninety per cent of engineers are male.Gender and Choice in Education and Occupation presents cutting-edge research on 'brainsex' and its effects on personality, education and choice. It targets concepts such as 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 despite many attempts at national levels to reduce sex segregation in both western Europe and the United States.
John Radford and eminent contributors, all with a wide range of academic and professional experience, challenge the myth of androgynous work, examine intra-sex differences as well as male-female differences and similarities, and offer practical ways of improving fairness in selection .0processes.
Gender and Choice in Education and Occupation will be of interest to students and practitioners in education, management, psychology, the social sciences and social services, and to all those interested in social equality.
