研究表明，接受女性传统职业教育的男性比女性同事更有可能在其职业之外就业，担任管理职位和薪酬更高的职位。目前尚不清楚这是否适用于具有移民背景的男性，也不清楚不同族裔男性之间的就业地位和收入差异在女性传统职业中是否比男性传统职业中更明显或更不明显。本文比较了接受过护理和工程教育的个人（即分别是女性和男性传统职业的典型例子）。结果表明，基于大多数种族背景的男性的研究结果不能推广到男性移民。挪威本土出生的男性和非西方移民背景的男性在专业护理和工程以外的领域就业的可能性存在明显差异。然而，护理似乎为少数族裔提供了比工程学更好的职业前景。
Research shows that men who pursue an education in a female-traditional occupation are more likely to be employed outside their occupation, in management positions and in better paid positions than their female colleagues. It is not clear whether this holds for men with an immigrant background and whether differences in employment positions and earnings between men of different ethnic origins are more or less pronounced in female-traditional occupations than in male-traditional professions. This article compares individuals educated in nursing and engineering (i.e. archetypical examples of female- and male-traditional professions, respectively). Results show that findings based on men with a majority ethnic background cannot be generalized to male immigrants. Differences in the likelihood of being employed outside professional nursing and engineering are pronounced between native-born Norwegian men and men with a non-western immigrant background. Nursing seems, however, to offer greater career prospects for ethnic minorities than does engineering.
