Summary
The analyses would look at the role of tracking on gender differences in educational attainment, and the role of competition in gender differences in choice of field of study. Women have caught up with men in terms of educational attainment in most industrialized countries, but they still largely differ in the content of study. While women are now more likely to complete a higher education degree than men, the distribution of college majors among college graduates remains unequal that results in differences of labour market success by gender.
