Gender typicality of occupational aspirations among immigrant and native youth: the role of gender ideology, educational aspirations, and work values.

ABSTRACT: The gender typicality of adolescents' occupational aspirations helps sustain occupational segregation, ultimately contributing to maintain gender stratification. According to sociological and psychological perspectives, adolescents develop occupational aspirations by drawing on their gender beliefs and work-related values. Yet few empirical studies have examined the contribution of these value orientations specifically to the gender typicality of occupational aspirations.

This study investigates variations in the gender typicality of occupational aspiratio
