With 40 to 50% of women, and many more in Canada, now going on to tertiary education, claims such as recently by the OECD and IMF that there is problems of access to education as a driver of inequality seem even more doubtful.
Source: DOING BETTER FOR FAMILIES – OECD 2011, Figure Box 1.3.
Not only do women have to overcome the financing constraint on going onto higher education that so troubles the IMF and the OECD, women of today and yesterday must overcome the dead hand of patriarchy. They have the both the top 1% and all men scheming against them, apparently. Despite this double secret double conspiracy against them, the number of women going on to some form of tertiary education has increased rapidly within a generation from an already high base.

The crack cocaine epidemic in the USA in the late 1980s also appeared to lead to a spike in murders of young Black and Latina women.

No data was available on Asian female homicides aged 15 to 24. There is no data on Latino homicide rates prior to 1985.

There was rapid growth in the human capital of graduates and postgraduates in New Zealand between 1981 and 2001 according to the census data. The growth in female human capital was particularly rapid and especially so at the postgraduate level.

@RichardvReeves Why did women get a pass on the great wage stagnation and exploitation by the top 1%?

Few labour markets statistics make much sense unless broken down by gender.
Women working full-time, year-round jobs earned 78.6% of what similar men did in 2014 on.wsj.com/1KlsIC8 http://t.co/amouJSkPMr—

Wages growth is no exception with female wages growth quite good for a long period of time after the 1970s – a period in which male earnings stagnated.
The beginning of male wage stagnation seemed to coincide with the closing of the gender wage gap.
U.S. wage growth doesn't look as weak when you account for benefit costs covered by employers on.wsj.com/1JJ2EmV http://t.co/s0tJutTjBy—

Presumably if men were previously profiting from patriarchy, that should have some implications for future wage growth and promotions for men as women catch up.
Presumably if men were previously profiting from patriarchy, that should have some implications for future wage growth for men as women catch up. Men lost the wage premium they previously earned from the sex discrimination directly in hiring, wage setting and promotions and investing in more education because they expected to be discriminated favourably at the expense of women.
Not surprisingly the convergence in the male-female wage ratios started in the 1970s which was the decade that male wage stagnation started.
The gender wage gap started converging again also pretty much in lockstep with the top 1% starting to grab higher and higher proportions of income.
