More women are graduating from colleges than men. The situation is causing some people to worry about the future. The trend could cause social problems,according to a report on July 8 by the Washington Post.
Women received about 57percent of the bachelor's degrees awarded this year from colleges and universities in the United States. The figure of 57percent has been the highest since World WarⅡ ended in 1945. During the war, many men were in the military.
The gap between men and women is greater among African Americans and Hispanics. Two African American women receive a degree for every African American man. Only 40percent of Hispanics who get a degree are males.
The USA Department of Education estimates 698, 000 females received bachelorˈs degree this year. The number of male graduates was 529, 000. The trend toward more female graduates began in the mid1980s. Nobody seems to know why. However, many theories exist.
