Why do many Japanese women choose to follow female-dominated educational and occupational paths, even though such paths are generally believed to lead to a dead-end career? In this dissertation, I argue that female-dominated paths ('feminine paths') are chosen at least partly because they lead to advantages in women's marital status attainment (status attainment through marriage) when compared with gender-neutral paths. Gender-neutral educational and occupational trajectories in general do not offer Japanese women as many opportunities to improve their status, though highly selective gender-neutral paths do not affect women's marital status attainment negatively, since selectivity can offset negative impact).

520 $a Why do many Japanese women choose to follow female-dominated educational and occupational paths, even though such paths are generally believed to lead to a dead-end career? In this dissertation, I argue that female-dominated paths ('feminine paths') are chosen at least partly because they lead to advantages in women's marital status attainment (status attainment through marriage) when compared with gender-neutral paths. Gender-neutral educational and occupational trajectories in general do not offer Japanese women as many opportunities to improve their status, though highly selective gender-neutral paths do not affect women's marital status attainment negatively, since selectivity can offset negative impact).
520 $a I test for this hypothesis at those two levels: perception and reality (behavior). The perception data are based on interviews with 45 samples, focusing on people's perception on what kind of education and occupation lead women to advantage in marital status attainment. The reality data derive from a mail survey data with 441 samples (women in their 30s) about their consequences of their status attainment through marriage as well as through occupation in reality.
520 $a The analysis of perception confirmed the hypothesis, showing that people do perceive that (at least one type of) female-dominated education and female-dominated occupation (female-dominated semi-professional education and occupation) to be more useful for women's marital status attainment than non-selective gender-neutral paths.
520 $a The analysis of real consequences also support the hypothesis, showing that those women who chose female-dominated educational path and occupational path did actually fare better than those who chose low-status gender-neutral paths, at least in the areas of husband's academic selectivity and organizational size. Against the prediction, however, those women who took one type of female-dominated occupations (status-signifying liberal-arts-related occupations) married husbands with significantly lower status than others.
520 $a Qualitative analysis of the perception data shows that feminine paths affect women's marital status attainment favorably, because of cultural capital, social capital, and human capital, which are peculiar to feminine paths. One type of feminine path (the status-signifying liberal-arts-related path) has come to be perceived as outdated, its status-signifying function (previously signaling wealthy familial status in order to attract husbands) gradually replaced by high-status gender-neutral paths.
