Can vocational role models change the gendered perception of STEM VET occupations? Results from an intervention study in Germany
In the German vocational education and training (VET) system, female apprentices are strongly underrepresented in STEM professions, where there is also a general shortage of skilled workers. In this study, we look at whether a vocational role model intervention of apprentices visiting schools could reduce gender differences in students’ aspirations toward VET STEM professions and change their gendered perception of these occupations in terms of t…
Risk–return preferences, gender inequalities and the moderating role of a counselling intervention on choice of major
In this study, we examine gender inequalities in educational decision-making. Specifically, we consider high school students selecting a higher education study programme and examine gender-specific risk and return preferences regarding monetary returns and the risk of failure in the programme. Moreover, we assess whether a counselling intervention can mitigate these gender inequalities. We employ a research design that combines a factorial survey…
Preparing Transitions
The formation of occupational aspirations, an important prerequisite of successful school‐to‐work transitions, is embedded in different social contexts, including youths’ families and peers. At the same time, adolescents are guided by various career orientation activities, including vocational role models, that provide them with information on available career options and stimulate career decision‐making. In this study, we combine both strands of…
Career Compromises and Dropout from Vocational Education and Training in Germany
This study investigates the relevance of career compromises (i.e., the discrepancy between the expected and the actually attained training position) to the decision to drop out of vocational education and training (VET), focusing on compromises in terms of social status and gender type. We pay particular attention to upward and downward compromises. Using longitudinal data on 7205 apprentices from the German National Educational Panel Study (Star…
Why do they leave? Examining dropout behaviour in gender-atypical vocational education and training in Germany
Germany's VET system is highly gender-segregated and marked by high dropout rates. This article investigates the dropout behaviour of apprentices in gender-atypical training occupations. First, we investigate whether gender-atypical apprentices drop out at a higher rate than their majority peers. Second, we examine differences in the self-reported reasons for dropping out among gender-typical and gender-atypical apprentices. Results show that gen…
Gendered career expectations in context
Although women are increasingly entering male-dominated careers, they remain strongly underrepresented in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) occupations. While previous explanations emphasize the importance of individual preferences or family socialization, less is known about how the school context contributes to these differences. This study aimed to examine the role of the classroom context as a frame of reference for stud…
