Erste Grafik: Nimmt alle 25- bis 34-Jährigen dieses Landes mit einem Bachelor-Abschluss oder höher und betrachtet die Aufteilung zwischen Frauen und Männern.
Zweite Grafik: Prozentsatz der Bildungsabschlüsse je Geschlecht für die 25- bis 34-Jährigen.
Notizen
- Der erste Gedanke war: Vielleicht gibt es in all diesen Ländern einfach viele Frauen im Alter von 25 bis 34 Jahren? Die Weltbank (2023) sagt jedoch, dass alle diese Länder mehr Männer im Alter von 25 bis 34 Jahren haben, mit Ausnahme von Mexiko, wo es einen sehr geringen Vorsprung bei Frauen gab. Dies veranlasste mich auch, die zweite Grafik zu erstellen.
- Ich habe zunächst versucht, alle OECD-Länder hier aufzulisten, aber es waren 38, also habe ich die 14 Länder mit der größten Bevölkerungszahl ausgewählt, mit Ausnahme derjenigen, für die keine aktuellen Daten vorliegen.
Bearbeiten: Klarstellung zu "4-jähriger Hochschulabschluss". Bei vielen Bachelor-Abschlüssen in Kanada/Großbritannien handelt es sich um dreijährige Abschlüsse, daher habe ich diese Formulierung entfernt.

If it was the other way around (and it was long ago) there would be millions, if not billions, poured into increasing the number of women through research, scholarships, etc. But because it is less men, no one cares.
It will be interesting to see how this changes with time. Since 2021, our university (in the US) has averaged a 0.8 point *increase* towards women graduates year over year. This year, 61.3% that graduated were women.
It’s interesting that the US has a higher percentage of both men and women with degrees than countries like Germany when the individual cost is so much higher to go to college in the US
Men don’t get university degrees at the same rate as women because blue collar jobs require apprenticeships, training and certifications, not 4 year degrees.
It’s a shame that no one cares about the trend that boys and young men are falling behind in education. Putting time and resources doesn’t have to be a zero sum game that detracts from girls and women. It should start with hiring more men in education. The field is dominated by women and it isn’t surprising that boys feel that as they go through the system.
Wait and see how equality will never be talked about again once women gain past 50% in a positive metric.
Wow what an intuitive and well presented set of data. Now this is a good dataviz.
This is bad right? Should they not be closer to 50/50 split. Anything higher than a 2% gap would be a flag to me.
Another point to make is females in the US for example have more options for scholarships often receiving double the amount men do. This is seems like a major issue that women are able to get more aid than men.

The gap will continue to increase, there’s estimates saying that over 66% of graduates will be women by 2050. This should also lead to a collapse in marriage rates as usually educated women would only marry a man at least equally educated, thus the pool of „marriageable“ men will shrink by a lot.
If this were reversed, it would be proof of misogyny.
1. „Manosphere influencers“ spend years telling men education is a waste of time
2. Get mad at hearing women are now more educated and getting better jobs
3. …Profit?
Back in the 1990s (Germany) when I studied math, women made up less than 10% of students but more than 50% of students graduating with a master’s degree (but in turn only about 25% of students following up with a PhD – may have been connected to a bunch of professors, all male faculty, being known for being misogynists).
Great. Now layer on to this if college education is free/heavily subsidized in these countries
And yet we are constantly told it’s okay to prioritize white women in college admissions across the board.
It’s okay to discriminate against Asian men for the same reasons.
Degree is slowly getting worthless anyway. It’s not indicator of hard skills nowadays.
Do they have data for the bachelors, masters and doctorates separately? Or the type of degrees being obtained? That could be interesting.
There’s a much much larger cultural push in the US for women to go to college
„Women are doing better than men, equality has been achieved!“
American here, honestly all of my male friends make tons of money and never went to college and their wives who went to college make way less money than them.
They do stuff like trades and so on.
Most universities in Turkey are garbage. The Top universities in Turkey are not even of average quality compared to other listed countries.
I guess you need more men to do physical jobs because they have more muscles
This is another reason for low birthrates. Females are not coupling with males because there are no(t enough) males at university.
Evil men. Can’t wait until it’s 0%
