Résumé : | The litany of work-related disparities between men and women is long : risk of unemployment or imposed part-time work, lower wages, more difficult access to managerial posts. These inequalities, which manifest themselves at the time of entry into working life, are often interpreted as the result of gender segregation in the educational process. If this is the case, we may legitimately expect the gaps to be smaller for young women and men who have chosen a programme of study usually privileged by the other gender. The findings presented here indicate that under certain conditions, non-traditional education and training can benefit young women in the school-to-work transition. And that, paradoxically, the most mixed training programmes do not seem to offer protection from traditionally observed gender disparities. |
