Through the conversations we had, our project took away 7 key insights that are already inspiring our next steps.
I'd like to thank everyone who took the time to participate and who was curious to hear about our work and helped us with their input! I hope that our paths will cross again soon!

Additionally, reducing the influence of gender on educational choices can help students discover and develop talents they might not have otherwise explored.

Reducing the impact of gender on educational choices can help address labor shortages in areas like healthcare and engineering. It can also make these fields more innovative by bringing in a mix of perspectives and skills from different genders.

There are fewer men in fields like healthcare, early education, and domestic work (HEED), and fewer women in fields like science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).

Esmée will tell us how communications of ideal worker norms in HEED and STEM job vacancies can be a source of gender bias. Jenny will explain how self-group distancing can be an obstacle to gender diversity at workplaces with strong masculinity norms.

Kate will talk about why the gender gap in the care economy is larger in highly developed countries. Onur will present a longitudinal field experiment that tested an intervention to help expecting couples divide work and care.

You want to find out what gendered educational choices are and what causes them? You are interested in interventions and tools that might reduce them? You are curious to hear which interventions work best in which contexts? I will be happy to share my insights!
