This thesis explores the relationship between access to decent work for all and the gender stereotypes that deeply influence the labor market. To achieve this, the first part of the thesis examines various theories that have addressed these topics and then explores how gender stereotypes shape the development of children's professional aspirations during childhood. The second part of the study presents a project consisting of six biweekly sessions conducted in two fifth-grade primary school classes. The objectives were to introduce the concept of decent work and provide a space to begin recognizing gender stereotypes and reflecting on their impact on the world of work. The research was conducted using seven tools: one quantitative instrument, the Positive Experiences at School Scale (PEASS), and six qualitative instruments, including Knowledge of Jobs and Interest and What Decent Work Is. The analyses revealed significant differences in both types of instruments. The results indicate that the proposed program had positive effects on the students in the experimental class. Specifically, it fostered more positive attitudes toward school activities, increased knowledge of the world of work, enhanced the ability to recognize gender stereotypes, and promoted a more sustainable vision of the future.
Questo elaborato di tesi esplora il legame tra la possibilità di accedere a un lavoro dignitoso per tutte e tutti e gli stereotipi di genere che influenzano profondamente il mondo del lavoro. Per fare questo, nella prima parte di tesi vengono innanzitutto esaminate le diverse teorie che hanno trattato queste tematiche, e poi viene approfondito come gli stereotipi di genere influenzano lo sviluppo delle aspirazioni professionali dei bambini e delle bambine durante l’infanzia. La seconda parte dell’elaborato presenta un progetto, della durata di sei incontri, con cadenza bisettimanale, svolto in due classi quinte della scuola primaria. Gli obiettivi miravano a far apprendere il concetto di lavoro dignitoso e fornire uno spazio per iniziare a riconoscere gli stereotipi di genere e riflettere sulle loro conseguenze sul mondo del lavoro. La ricerca è stata condotta utilizzando sette strumenti. Uno strumento quantitativo chiamato Positive experiences at school scale (PEASS), e sei strumenti qualitativi, tra cui la “Conoscenza dei lavori e interesse” e “Cos’è il lavoro dignitoso”. Le analisi condotte hanno messo in evidenza delle differenze significative in entrambi i tipi di strumento. I risultati indicano che il programma proposto ha avuto degli effetti positivi sulle alunne e gli alunni della classe sperimentale. Infatti, ha stimolato in loro atteggiamenti più positivi verso le attività scolastiche, ha incrementato la conoscenza del mondo del lavoro, la capacità di riconoscere gli stereotipi di genere e promosso una visione più sostenibile nei confronti del futuro.

Abstract
This thesis explores the relationship between access to decent work for all and the gender stereotypes that deeply influence the labor market. To achieve this, the first part of the thesis examines various theories that have addressed these topics and then explores how gender stereotypes shape the development of children's professional aspirations during childhood. The second part of the study presents a project consisting of six biweekly sessions conducted in two fifth-grade primary school classes. The objectives were to introduce the concept of decent work and provide a space to begin recognizing gender stereotypes and reflecting on their impact on the world of work. The research was conducted using seven tools: one quantitative instrument, the Positive Experiences at School Scale (PEASS), and six qualitative instruments, including Knowledge of Jobs and Interest and What Decent Work Is. The analyses revealed significant differences in both types of instruments. The results indicate that the proposed program had positive effects on the students in the experimental class. Specifically, it fostered more positive attitudes toward school activities, increased knowledge of the world of work, enhanced the ability to recognize gender stereotypes, and promoted a more sustainable vision of the future.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
