| Tiivistelmä: | The relationship between the timing of tracking of pupils into vocational and academic secondary education and gender differences are studied in educational attainment and income. The study argues that in a comprehensive system, where students are tracked into vocational and academic schools relatively late (age 15-16), girls are more likely to choose the academic track than boys. The Finnish school reform of the 1970s is exploited to analyse the hypothesis. The shift to a comprehensive system was found to increase gender differences in the probability of choosing an academic secondary education and of continuing onto academic tertiary education. |
