Abstract This study examines the discrimination against women and how their choices, such as field of study and professional fields, affect the role and the position of women in the labor market. First, we study the theory of discrimination (taste of discrimination theory /statistical theory of discrimination) and how they can affect women's employment, promotion, and wages. Without a doubt, discrimination is a real phenomenon, and it can affect women's employment. However, choosing a field of study and consequently profession, play an important role for the position of women in the labor market. For this reason, we study the theory of human capital to understand how both sexes invest in education. So, it seems that the choices of study and profession are not only influenced by women's preferences, but also from stereotypes, and social expectations. Finally, we try to see in which extent gender differences are observed in the choice of direction in high school in Greece, in getting access to higher education, in the choice of education fields, in participation in occupation as well as how society views the position of women in the labor market in European countries. We use data from ELSTAT and from European Social Research 2008.
