Abstract

Les choix d’études ne relèvent pas d’un simple calcul individuel : ils s’inscrivent dans un univers de représentations, d’aspirations et de contraintes qui diffèrent selon le genre. Attentes contrastées, rapport au risque et à la rémunération, visions de l’avenir professionnel : autant d’éléments qui façonnent de manière différenciée les trajectoires des filles et des garçons. Mais qu’en est-il du prestige social des professions ? Son pouvoir d’attraction s’exerce-t-il avec la même intensité sur les unes et les autres ? Le phénomène de substitution entre filières prestigieuses, notamment entre droit et médecine, obéit-il à une logique sexuée ? Et le numerus clausus, en régulant l’accès à la sphère médicale, agit-il également comme un révélateur des écarts d’ambition ?
