      abstract = {This thesis uses an audit study field experiment to  examine potential hiring discrimination against male job  candidates entering traditionally female-dominated fields.  The experiment revealed evidence of discrimination against  male candidates in some female-dominated fields, but for  male candidates in others. Notably, the descriptive  findings suggest that occupations emphasizing manual labor  may exhibit a preference for male candidates. However, it  is important to note that these descriptive findings are  purely observational in nature and require further analysis  to establish causal relationships. Furthermore, the study  contributes to the literature by shedding light on the  nuanced heterogeneity within specific occupations regarding  responses to male candidates. While the research does not  delve into the underlying causes or mechanisms driving such  discrimination, it emphasizes the presence of bias in  hiring practices. These findings underscore the need for  further investigation into the complex dynamics influencing  gender-based employment disparities in traditionally  female-dominated sectors.},
