The American Institute for Boys and Men has released an interactive map highlighting the declining percentage of men in college enrollment and graduation. But the most striking revelation isn’t the gender gap in enrollment and graduation but the persistent earnings gap that follows. That's right - despite women being more likely to enroll in and graduate from college, they are far more likely to earn less than their male peers six years after starting college.
Men in higher education: A national data tool uses an interactive map to compare male and female metrics - including acceptance rates, enrollment, and graduation - across U.S. higher education institutions. As the Institute notes, “male college enrollment has stagnated, while the female share continues to rise.”
What is also shown by the map is that in 67.7% of the colleges in the dataset, men earned more than women six years after enrollment. There are exceptions, such as Adelphi University (where women earn $71,401 vs. men’s $60,751), Bentley University ($94,778 vs. $92,944), and Daemen University ($70,586 vs. $61,133). However, some disparities are staggering - like Cooper Union, where women earn $24,423 compared to men’s $64,824, or Brigham Young University, where women make $39,962 versus men’s $83,404.
These figures underscore a harsh reality: women are very likely to experience systemic pay inequity in the workplace after graduating from college.
