Abstract

This systematic review identifies literature on men in teaching, nursing, and caregiving professions, and synthesises best practices in recruiting and retaining men in fields where they are statistically underrepresented (Brady & Sherrod, 2003). Specifically, it provides an overview of statistics relating to the gender imbalance in teaching; identifies factors that have been linked (in literature) to influences on career choices; and highlights strategies that have been employed in various contexts to recruit and retain men in teaching. We emphasise at the start of this document, that the ideas summarised in this discussion paper do not necessarily reflect the personal views of the authors. It is acknowledged that the findings, requires further discussion about the themes that have emerged and how they link to the broader body of research that has gone to impact beliefs about how gender has the potential to shape life and educational pathways, experiences, and outcomes.
