Płeć kulturowa a różnice prestiżu zawodowego
Gender and Differences Occupational Prestige

Summary/Abstract: In spite of the long tradition of research on occupational prestige, there is not a lot of data concerning the influence of gender on the prestige on the labor market. The research plan for my doctoral thesis was an atlempt at analyzing opinions and experiences of members of highly prestigious occupational groups. An analysis of the data obtained from interviews shows differences between the prestige of men and women in the labor market. Two important issues are the impact of family life on the career and gender division of work according to the traditional cultural roles. Nevertheless, the interviewees assumed that in their work environment was a meritocratic criterion of prestige rather than gender, which mattered for the individual’s prestige.
