The paper asks how cantonal education systems in Switzerland promote gender-typed
school-to-work transitions and gender segregation at work. Data from the Swiss TREE
youth panel study is used to analyse the impact of cantonal provision of vocational education and training (VET) on gender-typical educational trajectories. The findings show that
education systems with higher VET rates have higher allocations of men in gender-(male-)
typical occupational careers. The paper concludes that the pronounced and persistent
gender segregation on the Swiss labor market is partly due to a prominent VET system,
which urges early gender-typed occupational career decisions.
