THE LIMITATIONS OF SOCIAL ENGINEERING: Women and men still study completely different university subjects. “In the past decade few changes have occurred in the uneven gender distribution of Norwegian college and university students.”

The gendered selections studies show that traditional conceptions and stereotypes regarding boys’ and girls’ fields of interest and work are still alive and kicking.

This indicates that boys and girls in modern Norway continue to grow up with the same expectations regarding gender roles and vocations that they had years ago.

“To change this, we have to start working toward better nuances in gender roles starting from kindergarten,” suggests the new university college rector in Oslo.
