The main aims of this study is from a gender perspective identify possible reasons why so many men compared to women visited the European football Championship in Poland/Ukraine 2012. The study also aims to classify European Championship visitors from their primary purpose with the trip. To be able to answer the study's purpose and issues, it is important that we get an understanding of the phenomenon so that we can clearly express an opinion on this phenomena. This meant that we chose to use qualitative methods designed to give a deeper insight into what is being investigated. We made use of both deep, email and telephone interviews with our respondents. The six respondents are evenly distributed between the sexes. The selection was made through the snowball method. We also used a constructivist scientific approach where we conducted a qualitative analysis that encodes the significant statement as we got from the interviews. When studied the sport tourism we used scientific articles concerning what sport tourism is. This theory also identified how these tourists can be categorized. There are different types of visitors who have different goals with their trip to European Championship in Poland / Ukraine. We have classed these tourists from their primary purpose of the trip where some visitors were in Europe championship to see the football that was played while others were there to experience the event surrounding the football. To be able to identify possible reasons why more men than women visited the European Championships in Poland / Ukraine, we used Pierre Bourdieu's gender theory that deals with how the male dominance creates a power relationship between the sexes. The result that emerged from this study is that a male jargon dominated in the European championship. To identify possible reasons in why this appears we used gender theories. The male dominance (gender theory of Bourdieu) explained that there is a strong male jargon which is a system of norms that determines what is an acceptable behavior. It's a man-centered world where the male behavior is a preference that determines the conditions in terms of what is socially acceptable. A male jargon appears when men are in a clear majority. The results also show that women fall into a subordinate role in an environment where a male jargon occurs resulting in the fact that women feel uncomfortable showing up in a role where they are expected to correct themselves in the hierarchy. We have also been able to identify possible reasons from a gender perspective why more men than women visited the European Championship in Poland / Ukraine 2012.

Denna uppsats behandlar problematiken kring det låga antalet kvinnor i el-, bygg- ochfordonsbranschen. Undersökningen som gjorts vid uppsatsskrivandet sticker ut genom attvisa yrkesnämndernas perspektiv på rekryteringen av kvinnor till och deras förutsättningaratt ta gymnasieexamen på de mansdominerade yrkesprogrammen, el och energi, bygg och anläggning samt fordon och transport. Representanter från yrkesnämnderna har intervjuats.Vi hoppas att under-sökningens resultat ska öka förståelsen kring hur en mansdomineradutbildningsmiljö kan påverka kvinnor samt möjliga rekryteringsinsatser för att öka antaletkvinnor till yrkes-programmen. I undersökningen används Connells genusteori samt Patton och McMahons systemteori om påverkansfaktorer för att analysera resultatet. Forskningen bekräftar yrkes-programmens sneda könsfördelning och visar på att ökade vägledningsinsatser behövs för att förmedla en bättre bild av arbetsmarknaden och vidga vyer för att möjliggöra norm-brytande val.Vår undersökning visar att en stor variation av rekryteringsinsatser används för att ökaantalet kvinnor på yrkesprogrammen, både på ett politiskt, organisatoriskt och individuelltplan. Resultatet visar även på att de förutsättningar som kvinnor ges på de mansdominerade yrkesprogrammen innebär välkomnande, eventuellt särbehandling i form av ett hjälpande tillsammans med ett visst motstånd. Hård jargong är ett exempel på motstånd som påverkar dem på vägen mot en gymnasieexamen. / This thesis deals with the problem of the low number of women in the electricity, construction and automotive industries. It highlights the trade councils perspectives on the recruitment of women to and their prerequisites to take the high school degree on three maledominated vocational programs, electricity and energy, construction and construction(typo) as well as vehicles and transport. Representatives from the trade councils have been interviewed. We hope that the results of the survey will increase the understanding of how a male-dominated education environment can affect women and possible recruitment efforts to increase the number of women in vocational programs. The survey uses Connell's gender theory as well as Patton and McMahon's system theory of influence factors to analyze the results. The research confirms the uneven gender distribution of the vocational programs and shows that increased guidance is needed to convey a better picture of the labor market and broaden views to enable norm-breaking education choices.Our results shows that a large variety of recruitment efforts are used to increase thenumber of women in vocational programs, both at a political, organizational and individuallevel. The result also shows that the conditions that women are subjected to on the maledominated vocational programs vary in welcoming, possibly special treatment in the form of a “helping” along with a certain resistance such as hard jargon affecting them on their way to a high school degree.
