| Résumé : |
Despite laws and educational reforms in favor of gender equality, in France both training courses and professions remain highly gendered. The educational system and the labor market continue to conform to stereotypes, and both girls and boys continue to base their educational choices on what society assigns their genders as areas of competence. However, about 10% of master’s graduates make atypical study choices, in the sense that they chose an orientation standardly chosen by the opposite gender. This paper proposes an empirical analysis of these “atypical” students. Our results show that these individuals do not have specific profiles, either in terms of schooling background or social origin. By estimating a logistic regression, we highlight the importance of the expected returns and of the professional project in the atypical study choice. We also underline that although the unconventional choice allows a more rapid integration on the labor market and appears as a cost-effective solution for girls, it does not erase the wage inequalities between men and women. |
