Negotiating family and personal aspirations: Four young Cambodian women reflecting on choosing a major
This qualitative study explores how four young Cambodian women navigated the decision-making process of choosing a university major, focusing on the influence of parental guidance and familial expectations. The study identifies two key patterns: some women relied heavily on parental guidance, while others used it as a starting point for independent exploration. The findings highlight how gender norms, filial obligations, and socioeconomic background shape young women’s educational choices.
