Boston:166 Women Per 100 Men in 4-Year Colleges CARPE DIEM By Mark J. Perry NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY -- New findings by Northeastern’s Center for Labor Market Studies show that while more city high school graduates are enrolling in two- and four-year colleges, females are outpacing males in the successful completion of high school and enrollment in college. The research paper, prepared by the Center’s director Andrew Sum found that while college attendance overall was increasing—78% of the city’s 3,300 high school 2007 grads enrolled in college, up 9% over the class of 2000—the gender gap is also widening. While both male and females enrolled in college at high rates, there were many more women attending college than men—153 women per 100 men—and among four-year college students, the gender gap was even larger, with 166 women per 100 men, according to the study (see chart above). MP: Note that the gender gap is especially large for blacks (191 females per 100 men in four-year college) and Hispanics (175 women per 100 men).
