Is the Future Female? The Impact and Implications of Gender for 14-16 Year Olds' Career Choices.
Francis, Becky
Journal of Education and Work, v15 n1 p75-88 Mar 2002
Career aspirations of 57 British girls and 64 boys aged 14- 16 were examined. Girls' choices have become far more ambitious. In contrast to the literature, these boys' aspirations remain high. Choices still reflect a deeply embedded gender dichotomy and demonstrate little recognition of changes in the labor market. (Contains 33 references.) (SK)
