Educational Attainment of Women and Men in the 2011 Population Census

Summary/Abstract: Equal access to educational opportunities is no longer in question when it comes to females in developed countries. This descriptive paper answers three closely-related questions based on the 2011 population census: What are the characteristics of the presence of men and women at different levels of education? How can one define the expansion of a female majority – when did it develop and why is it so? Are there still long-lasting and traditional patterns in higher education despite the rising educational attainment of females? The study notes that it has always been the massive expansion of education that brought about the substantial increase in women’s educational attainment. However, by the time it reached higher education, the labour market was unable to provide sufficient jobs for highly qualified women – thus the advantage of women’s education was not able to be transformed directly into advantages on the labour market.
