Abstract
Longitudinal analysis of sex differences in the relationships between education and migration among Nova Scotia [Canada] youth reveals that post-secondary educational aspirations and actual post-secondary attainment are significantly related to migration among males but not among females. As compared to young women young men tend to continue their education more to migrate greater distances and to attend universities and technology institutions; whereas women attend institutions leading to traditional womens occupations located in their origin communities or within the province. The findings indicate that adolescent girls aspiring to traditional womens occupations find the local opportunity structure suitable for their goals; that marriage as a career goal for women may be a positive motivating factor for migration and may in fact explain sex differences in rates and kinds of schooling and motives for migration.
