We test how early childhood education creates preferences for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) through teacher-student random gender matching. Using originally collected individual-level data, we examine how female teachers in elementary school influence students’ CSR stated preferences in their adulthood. Our major finding is that female teachers affect male but not female pupils’ preferences for corporate responsibility later in life, which offers new evidence from Japan for the female socialization hypothesis. Considering that class teachers are randomly assigned to pupils at entrance to elementary school, this effect is not merely associational but causal.

女班主任老师教的男生在成年后对公司社会责任的偏爱更高
我们测试幼儿教育如何通过师生随机性别匹配来建立对企业社会责任(CSR)的偏好。使用最初收集的个人数据,我们研究了小学女教师如何影响学生的CSR陈述的成年偏好。我们的主要发现是,女教师在以后的生活中会影响男性而不是女学生对公司责任的偏好,这为日本的女性社会化假说提供了新的证据。考虑到在小学入学时将班主任随机分配给学生,这种影响不仅是联想的,而且是因果关系的。
