Why are more women going to university than men?
I saw a statistic that less than 40 percent of university enrolments in Australia (where I live) in the last few years were men. Is there a particular societal reason for that? My guess is that with more women entering the workforce force fewer of them are taking jobs in trades and so regardless of if men are actually going to university less it will look like they are if you look solely at statistics.
But I am genuinely curious if there are other factors going into this or if I missed something. Im also interested in what sort of an impact this may have since it would presumably mean that we see more female dominated workforces and potentially female dominated governments (I doubt that would be the case because of misogyny and I suspect governments would aim to have roughly equal representation rather than one gender dominating)
