Very interesting article from a few years ago. In Canada women outnumber men at universities by a wide margin. Women are more educated, have higher employment rates, and have lower high school/university dropout rates than men.

Even women studying law and medicine now outnumber men at Canadian universities.
How many female university students major in high-paying fields like engineering and computer science? Conversely, how many men major in low-paying fields like social work and childhood development?

What percentage of c-suite executives and corporate board members are women? Is it so low because women are innately inferior to men at leading companies? Or are there perhaps other reasons, like the ones I mentioned in my post above, that lead to the gender discrepancy?
