This chapter investigates students' perceptions and awareness of gender disparity in academia and the labor market, based on a survey administered to a sample of students in the Faculty of Economics at a big University in the Center of Italy. The questionnaire aimed at detecting potentially different perceptions of men and women regarding gender differences by considering both their actual experiences as students and their expectations about labor market conditions. The questions of the survey were the results of the joint work of a group of students and instructors that discussed gender issues together and shared individual perceptions of disparity experienced at different steps of their academic life. A brief description of the genesis of the focus group serves as a foundation for describing the structure and the questions of the survey and for explaining the rationale behind them. Then, the main results of the survey are discussed, highlighting the most significant differences in perceptions of gender issues for male and female students.

Abstract

This chapter investigates students' perceptions and awareness of gender disparity in academia and the labor market, based on a survey administered to a sample of students in the Faculty of Economics at a big University in the Center of Italy. The questionnaire aimed at detecting potentially different perceptions of men and women regarding gender differences by considering both their actual experiences as students and their expectations about labor market conditions. The questions of the survey were the results of the joint work of a group of students and instructors that discussed gender issues together and shared individual perceptions of disparity experienced at different steps of their academic life. A brief description of the genesis of the focus group serves as a foundation for describing the structure and the questions of the survey and for explaining the rationale behind them. Then, the main results of the survey are discussed, highlighting the most significant differences in perceptions of gender issues for male and female students.
