  • Gender and external factors
    • Feminism
      • Feminist campaigning has helped highlight gender inequalities and combat patriarchy
      • Helps girls see that women are tough and have a say in society, and are able to do whatever career they choose
      • Hard to measure impact of feminism
    • Changing girls ambitions
      • Sharpe: Ambitions of girls in 1970 marriage and children, 1990 career first and family later on
      • More options than just having a family so girls are motivated
      • Larger workforce
    • Changes in the family
      • Women are more likely to take on the role of the breadwinner due to increased divorce and lone parent families
      • Careers are now normal for women, families do not need to be nuclear to function efficiently however there is a crisis of masculinity
    • Changes in women's employment
      • Equal numbers of men and women are in full time employment and more women are looked for managerial jobs
      • Girls are more motivated to work hard as there is more to their future than being a housewife
      • Feminists argue that this a great step to equality of the sexes however there is less oppurtunity for men so now they see themselves as having no future
