The context is the military in Norway\, where female recruits were randomly assigned to some squads but not others during boot camp. Findings show that living and working with women for 8 weeks caused men to adopt m ore egalitarian attitudes. Specifically\, there was a 14 percentage point increase in the fraction of men who think mixed-gender teams perform as we ll or better than same-gender teams\, an 8 percentage point increase in me n who think household work should be shared equally and a 14 percentage po int reduction in men who strongly disavow feminine traits. Contrary to wha t many policymakers have predicted\, there is no evidence that integrating women into squads hurt male recruits' satisfaction with boot camp or thei r plans to continue in the military. These findings demonstrate that even in a highly gender-skewed environment\, gender stereotypes are malleable a nd can be altered by integrating members of the opposite sex.\n\n\n\n   \;\n\n\n\n About Dr. Andreas Kotsadam\n\n\n\n Andreas Kotsadam is a Senior R esearcher at The Frisch Centre in Oslo.\n\n\n\n Kotsadam holds a PhD in Eco nomics and is a broad social scientist interested in inequality\, economic development\, and conflict.
