中文摘要
社会期望与性别规范制约着年轻人的职业规划，对女孩而言尤为明显，这限制了个人兴趣在技能培养决策中所发挥的作用。本研究通过一项预注册的、学校层面的整群随机对照试验，对印度城市地区6000多名以女性为主的学生，评估了一项低成本、为期10小时的职业探索干预措施。该项目改善了学生的未来规划，并提高了他们在职业选择中对个人兴趣的重视程度。然而，尚无证据表明该项目对教育或技能培养投资具有中期影响。这些发现表明，尽管可扩展的干预措施能够改变志向与规划，但结构性障碍仍制约着更长期的行为改变。
Abstract
Societal expectations and gender norms constrain young people’s career planning, particularly for girls, limiting the role of personal interests in skill-building decisions. This study evaluates a low-cost, 10-hour career exploration intervention through a pre-registered, school-level, clustered randomized controlled trial with over 6,000 primarily female students in urban India. The program improved future planning and increased the importance students placed on personal interests in career choices. However, there is no evidence of medium-term impacts on educational or skill-building investments. These findings suggest that while scalable interventions can shift aspirations and planning, structural barriers constrain longer-term behavioral change.
