This book investigates the institutional contexts of gender segregation in VET from a comparative perspective, through a number of cross-national comparisons as well as more in-depth studies of Canada, Norway, Germany, Australia and Bulgaria.The various chapters tackle questions about occupational expectations, gendered pathways to applied fields of study, educational transitions, feminization of occupations and the relationship between educational choice and opportunity structures. We discuss the relationship between institutional contexts and gender-typing of educational programs, and whether VET system characteristics make a difference to occupational outcomes across countries. The book concludes with a chapter on education-to-employment transitions (based on a large scale comparative project on labour market entry) assessing the impact of vocational education on gendered labour market inequalities.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmItem Width: 21mmContributor: Liza Reisel (Edited by), Kristinn Hegna (Edited by), Christian Imdorf (Edited by)Genre: Society & CultureTopic: Gender Sex & Relationships, Children's Learning & EducationBook Series: Comparative Social ResearchItem Weight: 521gAuthor: Kristinn HegnaRelease Year: 2015 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
