DESCRIPTION:Over the last decades\, many western economies have experienced
  a decline in the employment share of traditionally male-dominated occupati
 ons\, such as manufacturing\, whereas traditionally female-dominated occupa
 tions show the highest growth rates. Yet\, men seem reluctant to enter such
  occupations. This paper investigates whether cultural gender norms about o
 ccupations\, defined as a society's perception of what is appropriate work 
 for men and women\, contribute to persistent gender-stereotypical occupatio
 nal choice. Using large-scale international survey data and high-quality ad
 ministrative records\, I study whether second-generation immigrant men (wom
 en) are less likely to work in an occupation that is perceived as female (m
 ale)-typical work in their country of ancestry. I find robust evidence that
  men\, but not women\, adhere to occupation-specific cultural gender norms:
  men are less likely to work in an occupation that is perceived as female w
 ork in their country of origin\, while there is no such effect for women. T
 o investigate mechanisms of this result\, I then design an international su
 rvey experiment. The results corroborate the gender asymmetry found in the 
 observational data and reveal a social perception penalty for men in heavil
 y female-dominated occupations\, but no comparable penalty for women in mal
 e-dominated fields. Taken together\, the findings of this paper suggest tha
 t persistent social norms constitute an important barrier to men's entry in
 to female-dominated occupations.\\n\\nContact: Arthur Guillouzouic : arthu
