Women between the ages of 25 and 34 continue to be more likely than men in the same age group to have a bachelor’s degree. The gender gap in bachelor’s degree completion appears in every major racial or ethnic group, though the size of the gap varies widely.

    Maybe. The pay gap is mostly explained by what sorts of jobs men and women go for. Women go for flexible working conditions that pay less. So it comes down to whether men without degrees can still out-earn women with college degrees by working longer less flexible hours.

      I’m not an expert, but I’ve seen conflicting studies on that. For example, I remember a recent study that showed that women in the same field with the same qualifications and years of experience still made less than men.
