Why have certain occupations such as elementary teaching and nursing historically heen dominated by women?
In earlier years, women couldn't get jobs such as doctors or professors. So if a women had an interest in medicine or teaching, she would become an elementary school teacher or a nurse. Also because of the famous nurse Florence Nightingale, nursing became know as the profession of trained, middle class, "women in white". Hope this answers your question!
Historically, certain occupations like elementary teaching and nursing have been associated with caregiving roles traditionally assigned to women. Societal norms and gender stereotypes have shaped these professions as more suitable for women, leading to their domination by female workers. Additionally, lower pay and status compared to male-dominated fields have also contributed to the disproportionate representation of women in these occupations.
