Women's degrees 3

(cont'd from yesterday's post)

If you looked closely at the chart (Thursday post), you saw more than women's success in education. Men just lag behind women in some metrics, and men are in trouble by others.

Men are not getting as many college degrees. Maybe that's related to the more disturbingly negative metrics like these:


For every 100 young women in October 2021:
  • who graduated from high school in 2021 and were neither in college nor working, there were 122 young men
  • who had a BA, master's, or doctor's degree and were working, there were only 30 men
  • who had a BA degree but were not working, there were 230 men
What a comparison. By these measurements, women are statistically doing much better than men. Having empowered female educational achievement, do we now need to take affirmative action to help young men?
