'The gender desegregation of the labor market has so far been almost entirely one-way. Women are doing 'men's jobs.' Men are not doing 'women's jobs.' That needs to change.' 📝 RichardvReeves
Jeffrey Greenberg-UCG/Universal Images Group“I didn’t know that men could be doctors,” my son said to me when he was about six. We were driving home from a visit to the pediatrician. I was perplexed. But then I realized that the doctor we’d just seen was the first male physician he’d encountered.
In recent decades, huge progress has been made in smashing the gender stereotypes associated with many traditionally male jobs, including science, medicine, engineering, law, and even the military. When the original Perry Mason series aired in 1966, just 4 percent of law students were female. By the time of HBO’s new version in summer 2020, there were. Terms like “female lawyer” and “female doctor” already sound antiquated.
In some occupations, the decline in the male share has been dramatic. The proportion of men in psychology, for example, has dropped from 39% to 29% in the last decade. And the trend is set to continue. Among psychologists, the male share is just 5%. Fewer than one in five social workers are men , half the proportion in 1980. The only occupation where the share of nurses has risen, albeit painfully slowly, is nursing, which is now 13% male., down from 33% in the early 1980s.
