Why more women students? It's the money.(Newswatch)
While administrators are wondering why women have become about 57% of college and university students, a researcher has found a simple reason: higher salaries.
Incomes of women with bachelor's degrees were 24% higher than those with only a high school diploma, in a study by Dr. Laura Perna, an assistant professor of educational policy and leadership at the University of Maryland. She used U.S. Department of Education data and interviews with more than 9,000 students who graduated in 1992, following some of them until the year 2000.
While women benefited significantly from earning degrees, she found no such wage increase for men.
Males with only high school diplomas in skilled blue-collar jobs can earn much more than women without university degrees, the women are learning, so they are more motivated to attend college to increase their incomes.
