  This study examines the influence of learning in a female teacher homeroom
class in elementary school on pupils' voting behavior later in life, using
independently collected individual-level data. Further, we evaluate its effect
on preference for women's participation in the workplace in adulthood. Our
study found that having a female teacher in the first year of school makes
individuals more likely to vote for female candidates, and to prefer policy for
female labor participation in adulthood. However, the effect is only observed
among males, and not female pupils. These findings offer new evidence for the
female socialization hypothesis.
