Feminization of accounting studies in Poland – causes and consequences
Journal Title: Zeszyty Teoretyczne Rachunkowości - Year 2015, Vol 2015, Issue 81
Abstract
The article presents the phenomenon of feminization of accounting studies in Poland, especially at Lodz University. In the authors’ opinion this is due to stereotypes existing in the community about male and female professions. It is believed that accounting is seen as women’s rather than men’s occupation. This hypothesis was based on a survey conducted on a group of 460 secondary school students from Lodz voivodeship. Finally, the negative implications of feminization of accounting are shown.
