The gender segregated nature of vocational education (VET) has
received little attention in the stratification literature, despite
the well-known consequences of VET for differences in labour market
outcomes, such as job placement, income and access to full-time
employment. 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.
