Abstract

Women and men both make choices about the sort of work they do and the type of career that they want, and their choices are influenced by such factors as location, parental example and their own specific talents, qualifications and interests. In addition, choices tend to be influenced by expectations of what is an appropriate job for a man or for a woman. For both women and men there are also choices to be made about work/family balance which are usually based on assumptions about male and female roles.
