Description:
We show parental careers differentially affect the future career choices of girls and boys using survey data from CFA Institute members. Among CFA Institute members, women are more likely to have a STEM parent (particularly a STEM mother) than men. Relative to the base rates at which girls and boys become CFA Institute members, STEM mothers increase the girls' rate by 48% more than the boys' rate; STEM fathers increase the girls' rate 29% more than the boys' rate. Our findings are consistent with the hypothesis that early role models, particularly female role models, influence women's choice of finance careers
