ABSTRACT: This study examines how childhood experiences with gender-specific products can shape an individual's gendered perception of careers. An online survey on individuals aged 18–34 years assessed childhood exposure to gender-specific products and their current gender stereotypes in career perceptions. A positive correlation was found between the degree of gender-specific product usage and career-gender stereotypes, indicating that increased exposure to gender-specific products during the formative years is significantly correlated with more intense traditional gender role-based career considerations in adulthood. Thus, early experience of gendered products can lead to gendered perspectives at later ages, narrowing choices and visions in career paths.
