\u25a0Abstract
There is a converging gender gap in four-year university attendance in Japan, yet significantly fewer women apply to selective colleges. A growing body of literature suggests that parents play a crucial role in shaping their children\u2019s college choices. However, the capacity to make causal claims is limited in existing studies, as any apparent gendered preferences among parents might simply reflect prior educational investments made before their children apply to college. This study advances the field by leveraging a survey experiment approach. Results from our conjoint experiment, where respondents evaluate their fictitious children\u2019s hypothetical college choices, reveals the following findings: First, responses do not differ when the children aim for selective colleges, regardless of whether the child is a son or a daughter. Second, respondents who expect higher returns from college for men than for women tend to rate their fictious son\u2019s selective college applications more favorably. Third, fictitious daughter\u2019s college choices receive more favorable ratings when their choices align with societal gender stereotypes. These results underscore the potential impact of recent admissions reforms in Japanese universities, which include explicit quotas for female applicants to increase their enrollment.<\/p>\n
