Gender Attitudes and Occupational Aspirations in Germany: Are Young Men Prepared for the Jobs of the Future?
研究德国年轻男性的性别态度与职业抱负的关系，发现家庭背景（尤其是父母教育和职业）仍与性别角色态度和职业选择相关，对理解后工业化时代男性就业困境有参考价值。
The increasing rate of post-industrialisation in advanced economies has dramatically impacted on the availability of jobs in male-dominated occupations. Consequently, men with traditional gender attitudes may experience difficulties in finding employment that aligns with their conception of masculinity. Attitudes to gender roles develop during childhood as part of the process of socialisation; thus, family background, and in particular parental education and occupation, may influence the occupational aspirations of young people. To examine the associations between family background, a child’s attitudes to gender roles and a child’s occupational aspirations, analysis of the German National Education Panel Study (NEPS) Starting Cohort 4 data was conducted. The findings suggest that family background continues to be associated with attitudes to gender roles and occupational aspirations.
