Compare and contrast the occupational and educational opportunities offered to women in the 50’s and the 60s

Do you mean compare and contrast between the 50s and 60s--or do you mean the 50s and 60s and today?\n\nI'll tell you one thing:  In the 50s through mid-60s, people knew in junior high school more than high school graduates know today.  School wasn't a place to play around and pick and choose what work they felt like doing - you did what you had to do to get that diploma (which most parents insisted on - since they may have not had the opportunity to graduate high school themselves).\n\nMost females in the 50s through mid-60s were not college bound - many took secretarial courses in high school, figured they would work for a while, and then get married and become mothers.\n\nWhen Women's Lib came to be (a bit later) more women went to college, more women wanted to have a profession (rather than just a job), and less women were content to become simply a housewife and mother.\n\nThe bad side of that, is that with both parents working more children felt free to join gangs, do drugs and drink, commit crimes, etc., because they were all alone - nearly all the time.

Yes there are. I am one of them. It's not like it was when we were younger, to where you can go to clubs and so on. The best way for me to meet other women are through friends and family.

Well, I lived through them...but can I remember the 70's?! Hmmm....Say no to war. Peace & Free love. Psychedelic clothing,leisure suits, high heels, mini skirts. Don't trust anyone over 30. Long hair, Afro hair. Awesome muscle cars. Watergate. Men on the moon. It was such a great decade even though it had it's downfalls and the way people treated each other in general was so much more honorable than today.

I am starting over at 40+ and which someone would have answered this question for me when I graduated!!!\nType in CAREER EVALUSATION TESTS, on the web. Any search engine will do. You need a personality profile and career evaluation. Then you have to decide! Good luck!

This is an interesting question. The census bureau's website would probably be the best place to start. I do not know if they have all of their stats posted from decades past.

A great website to use is the Occupational Outlook Handbook.  This website tells you all you need to know about each profession as well other resources.  Good luck!

Not much happened during the war years. There were several changes during the 1950s. I can only tell you what I know from my own experience. I left school aged 15 in 1953.  I was in a selective Central School and to enter I had to pass an 11 plus examination.  Some of my friends did a further examination to go on to either a Technical School to specialise in technical subjects or a Grammar School to specialise in languages and literature. Many of my friends stayed on at school to do the General Certificate of Education that was then being introduced into schools in preparation for a wider opportunity for children to enter higher education.  I expect that you should be able to find more information on the Internet especially on the Department of Education and Science web site.  I do not know the address but if you type in the words in your search engine it should come up with options.

As others have answered, women were involved in some of the early years of sociology but they were the exception rather than the rule. Its easier to understand in the context that women were not given access to the same education as men were in the time period along with many other social aspects of life. As women were denied entrance into many different strata of public life, it makes sense that they would be unable to analyse or comment on it, which is the scope of most of sociology.

personally. women of yesterday are greater than us now. they had more strict standards to live by and they probably had a lot more pressure and expectations from men.

Well, let's look at what happened 50 years ago  In 1956,  business was done by paper, consumer products led industry and education was combination mostly trade prep.  Today business is electronic, industry is service with women in workforce and education is college prep.  In 50 years I suspect business will be nearly 100 percent global with uniform currency, manufacturing will become a more "do it yourself" venture where you will be able to buy a machine can recreate many items, and education will change little.
