AbstractGiven the significance of teacher quality and the pressing need to address teacher shortages
worldwide, this study examined the evolving landscape of adolescents’ teaching career
expectations in the last two decades. The Programme for International Student Assessment
data showed (a) the proportions of adolescents aspiring to teaching careers remained stable
over the two decades with girls in dominance; (b) boys with higher reading and science
achievement aspired to teaching careers more; (c) girls expected to become teachers
regardless of socio-economic background, while its impact on boys varied in different
economies; and (d) boys required enjoyment of reading, self-efficacy, and environmental
support for choosing teaching careers, whereas girls were naturally inclined to be teachers.
