Boys’ dominance just about endures in maths: at age 15 they are, on average, the equivalent of three months’ schooling ahead of girls. In science the results are fairly even.
But in reading, where girls have been ahead for some time, a gulf has appeared. In all 64 countries and economies in the study, girls outperform boys. The average gap is equivalent to an extra year of schooling.

Adding it all up — both paid work and unpaid housework, including childcare — the average man’s work week was three hours longer than his partner’s before birth, but after parenthood he worked 8.5 hours less than his partner.
This is particularly interesting, given that this is a socio-economic cohort — wealthy and educated — that generally says equality of household labour is important in a relationship.
