dc.description.abstractIn the 21st Century, women remain underrepresented in non-traditional technical professions for their gender. The recent global recession and economic crisis created additional obstacles, which appear to have a deterring effect on female students when choosing technical professions. Statistical data for years 2009-2013 derived from Piraeus University of Applied Sciences (Technological Education Institute of Piraeus) (TEI Piraeus), Piraeus-Athens, Greece, and for 2010-2014 from the Technological Educational Institute of Athens (TEI of Athens), Athens, Greece, illustrate the gender differences in choosing studies and professions, with women opting more often for non-technical courses. One example is the School of Business and Economics at the TEI of Piraeus where the representation of female students was quite significant during the examined years, while in the Faculty of Engineering the proportion of female students was rather restricted. Is this an unpleasant impact of the global economic crisis on the educational choices of Greek students or is it the gender difference that leads women to other academic orientations and professions?en_US
