Abstract

This paper studies to what extent the female university students, compared with the male students, contemplate for the future the possibility of slowing down their professional careers for reasons related to conciliation. A survey to university students has been carried out trying to get their lifestyles preferences, their professional aspirations and their gender attitudes. Then it is estimated the percentage of female students who have a high degree of professional aspiration (that it is significantly inferior to that corresponding to the male students), and some personal and cultural factors are analyzed that can be related to the fact of being a female student with this characteristic.
