Abstract
To examine values and career and life expectations among a sample of 216 Canadian business students, 83 female and 133 male undergraduate and graduate students provided data on anonymously completed questionnaires. The men and women valued very similar work characteristics and attached generally similar importance and involvement to work, marital, parental, and home-care roles; however, comparisons of hopes and beliefs about work, family, and parental responsibilities indicated a traditional division of labor.Keywords
