That was in reference to women's greater interest in people over things. Many quant. jobs do not deal much with things and would not be suitable for most women even when they have the quant. skills (they work less with things). This can be clearly seen in SMPY results.

Is this 1918...? "Suitable" is determined by the individual in question. >Many quant jobs do not deal much with things I assume you meant "people"? Given the degree of contemporary emphasis on the quantitative analysis of human behavior, I'm not sure whether this is even true.

SMPY already conditions on skill. Sample has a large gender imbalance, if that's your point (?) but irrelevant to 'suitability'. Moreover, SMPY has studied the career paths students *chose*. "Pushed away" implies an impediment to choice, so again irrelevant to 'suitability'.

So again, tell us why a quantitative career would not be 'suitable' for someone interested in the area and possessing the necessary skills, on the basis of gender...? Where is this view on career selection supported in the literature, ex ante?
-
We would need something like e.g. a prospective cohort study on career satisfaction in various quantitative disciplines as a function of gender. And not merely e.g. length of tenure, aggregate earnings, etc., since we know values preferences relevant thereto vary by gender.
