Abstract
The current research underlines gender inequalities concerning school motivations when choosing vocational training. Regarding this, refe- rence is also made to the phenomenon of female abandonment and the expectations of post-vocational training. Subsequently, the article also brings up the sociohistorical and institutional context with regards to vocational training in Spain, within a theoretical framework based on scholar choices and gender perspectives in labour and educational segregation. Through the analysis of 12 young interviewees, the study could verify a determined persistence of gender inequalities in vocational training, especially for choice and motivation factors. Additionally, the research deviated similar arguments with regards to the differentiation in both vocational training and baccalaureate.
