Abstract
The exact nature of the link between social work education and job equity for the sexes has been heretofore unspecified. Drawing upon empirical evidence, this article analyzes the effects of structural conditions and the educational process on the occupational aspirations and outcomes of female students. This analysis then points to specific structural changes in social work education that can be used to broaden women's aspirations and enhance their job prospects.
