Thai Culture and My Career Choice to Study Gender-Based Stereotypes

"Who do you want to be when you grow up?" This may be a problem from parent to child typical for many families, but it is not mine. I grew up in Thai culture and I noticed a combination of women's roles in my society. Most of my women's family are housewives, which is what I had hoped for when I grew up. But I have a greater ambition - as a woman in Thailand, I would like to find a profession that is respected, appreciated, and able to gain a personal sense of accomplishment in my culture.

"Queen Be" syndrome. "Queen Bee" is an elderly woman in male organizational culture, achieving their career desires by gender, while contributing to the gender fixed ideas of other women.

She is in the STEM, and the worst part is that she came from Iran. The truth is that politics is not in science, or at least not. This loss should resonate all over the world, but it is not the case. The first female pass won the field medal. This is mainly short-lived on radar. As an American, I think this is embarrassing and insulting.

It is not easy to decide why women and men choose different areas and why these options vary from country to country. The stereotype of gender in terms of work and occupation often brings about differences in expectations for girls and boys' careers, and the role of gender in both individual life and occupational life is determined by decision to lead gender difference in research and occupation choices It affects. But whatever its reason, the outcome is obvious. As stated in the summary of "Focus on Education", the pattern of employment varies depending on the field of research and also depends on the gender imbalance. Due to the high inactivity rate of women, the employment rate of graduates mainly in women's choice, teacher training and education tends to be lower than male-led research. In fact, in all areas of research, the employment rate of men is significantly higher than that of women.
