Abstract
► Causal impact of fraction of girls in schools on (vocational) school type choice for female students. ► Population variation: gender composition of adjacent cohorts within schools. ► The higher the share of girls, the less likely they choose a female-dominated school type at age 14. ► Results robust to falsification tests and sensitivity checks.
