This study explores the relationship between 233 women's egalitarianism in sex role attitudes and their work experiences (current employment status and managerial positions) and the desired patterns of career and promotion. The respondents are in their 20s and the first half of the 30s. They work (currently or previously) in Tokyo, and they have completed the short-form of the Scale of Egalitarian Sex Role Attitudes (SESRA-S). Analyses of variance indicate that the above mentioned 4 employment variables are related significantly and positively to the level of egalitarianism in sex role attitudes. Stepwise multiple regression analysis suggests that the most important predicting variables of egalitarian sex role attitudes of young working women are the desired career patterns, current employment status, and age. That is, a woman from 20-35 years old who has a high career commitment, has been working in the same workplace, and is older is most likely to have a higher egalitarian sex role attitude.
