abstract: 'Gender segregation in fields of study represents an important
explanation for gender inequalities in the labor market, such as the
gender wage gap. Research shows that horizontal gender segregation in
higher education persists for a variety of reasons, including women''s
greater communal goals and men''s greater motivation to earn high
incomes. Yet with the male breadwinner model in decline, a key question
is whether women''s motivation to earn high incomes might contribute to
increasing women''s participation in female-atypical fields of study.
Using data from the German Student Survey over a period of 30 years, our
findings show that the proportion of women enrolled in female-atypical
fields of study increased from 1984 to 2015. Moreover, women''s
motivation to earn high incomes mediates the effect of time on
enrollment in female-atypical fields of study. Their motivation to earn
high incomes might thus be a factor contributing to the disruption of
gender segregation in fields of study over time. Furthermore, contrary
to expectations, the motivation to earn high incomes as a driving force
for women to opt for gender-atypical fields of study is not stratified
by social background.'
