Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to explore the influence of different social factors on women's occupational choices in Croatia from the late 19th to the early 21st century. Using a text analysis method, we are trying to identify economic, social and ideological background of women's economic role. Croatian authors generally agree that women's economic activity is intensively influenced by social and temporal context. Based on previous scientific discussions, this article detects social barriers that have persistently affected women's economic role and contributed to gender differences in professional choices.
