Educational Success: The Rise of Young Women

Recent studies reveal a significant educational advantage for young women over their male counterparts. Women consistently achieve higher grades in both high school and university settings.

In 2023, 55% of high school graduates were female, and women also comprised 53% of university graduates. This trend highlights a concerning reality: men are more likely to repeat classes and often lack vocational qualifications.

Although men do earn a higher percentage of doctoral degrees, the overall educational landscape favors women. Women excel particularly in the humanities and medical fields, while men dominate engineering disciplines.

Additionally, men tend to fail examinations more frequently and are, on average, older when they complete their studies. The data underscores a clear pattern: young women are increasingly outpacing young men in educational attainment, with the notable exception of doctoral achievements.

This shift may have profound implications for gender dynamics in the workforce and society at large.
