Report: Colleges Now Dominated by Women, Men Lagging Behind

Article here. Excerpt:

'According to a report from The College Fix, women are earning significantly more college degrees than men. Data published in 2016by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) highlighted a surprising trend in higher education. While almost half of American women between the ages of 18 and 24 were enrolled in an institution of higher learning, less than 40 percent of all males were also enrolled. A similar gender breakdown exists at the graduate level.

This trend can be found at universities around the country. Take, for example, the University of Wisconsin, where 55 percent of all degrees are earned by women. At the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, women make up almost 70 percent of the student body.

The shift in the gender breakdown at institutions of higher education can in part be attributed to the increased need for trade and speciality jobs that are typically performed by men. These jobs often pay similar salaries to those taken by college graduates. They can be especially attractive because the jobs can be had without the debt that often taken on for a traditional four-year college degree.'
