今いまの子こどもは大人おとなになったらどんな仕し事ごとをしたいのだろうか。また、なぜその仕し事ごとがしたいのだろうか。今年ことしの春はる、小学校しょうがっこうに入にゅう学がくする児じ童どうを対たい象しょうに行おこなわれた「将しょう来らい、就つきたい職しょく業ぎょう」についての調査結果ちょうさけっかを見みてみた。

男だん子しは1位いがスポーツ選せん手しゅ、2位いは警けい察さつ官かん、3位いは運うん転てん手しゅ・運うん転てん士し。女じょ子しは1位いがパン・ケーキ・お菓か子し屋や、2位いは花はな屋や、3位いは芸げい能のう人じん（注）・タレントである。男だん子しの「スポーツ選せん手しゅ」は30.1%、女じょ子しのパン・ケーキ・お菓か子し屋やは29.6%。男だん子しも女じょ子しも、1位いは12年ねん間かん変かわらないそうである。

一方いっぽう、親おやが就つかせたい職しょく業ぎょうを見みると、男だん子しは1位いが公こう務む員いん、2位いはスポーツ選せん手しゅ、3位いは医い師しである。女じょ子しは1位いが看かん護ご師し、2位いは公こう務む員いん、3位いはパン・ケーキ・お菓か子し屋やである。__________、就つきたい職しょく業ぎょうには親おやの希き望ぼうもやや影えい響きょうしていると考かんがえられる。
