| dc.description.abstract | In this thesis, I examine the following question: to what extent does education and gender influence lifestyle choices, within a sustainable perspective? I tried to answer the research question by using a qualitative research method. I interviewed six informants with different educational backgrounds. Which were divided into three groups, by completion of upper secondary school, higher education at bachelor level and higher education with a master's degree. In every group woman and man were interviewed to represent a gender balance.
The findings of the research question show that lifestyle choices are more influenced by gender rather than education. I saw a tendency, that all of the interviewees were interested in living more sustainably but did not know exactly what a sustainable lifestyle is. For all interviewees, a sustainable lifestyle is associated with nature protection. | |
