The history of VET in the Nordic countries tends to either focus on education for male students only, or on the education of nurses, today part of higher education. The 1970s are mentioned as the time when women entered the labor market as a consequence of societal industries (kindergartens, hospitals). Early VET for male students was related to agricultural work, or to technology, industrial work, or craft. We argue that this also applies for early VET for women: their work within agriculture contributed significantly to the production and economic development in the society. In this paper we discuss how vocational educations, historically aimed at women, came to be shaped in relation to societal development. With analytical focus on societal motives and contradictions we will show how women’s VET significantly contributed to societal production and household finances but also how these educations were developed in relation to advancements within natural sciences and socioeconomic development. We use examples from three sectors: the domestic, textile, and the health care/social care sectors.
