Despite many years of improved equality of opportunity, around 90% of nurses are female, and 90% of engineers are male. "Gender and Choice in Education and Occupation" 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. Gender and Choice in Education and Occupation Radford, John Despite many years of equality of choice, boys and girls continue to differ in both the subjects they study at school and later in the careers they decide to pursue. In this collection of papers by leading researchers from academic and practitioner backgrounds, the current evidence from a range of fields is reviewed. Drawing on both their own original research and that of others, the contributors consider topics as diverse as subject choice in secondary school, differences in brain functions between the sexes, the comparison of men and women in management and recruiting women to science and technology.<
