Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research studies have consistently shown that there are no significant differences in math performance between girls and boys at the national level, even though there might be slight gender differences in math interests and self-confidence. Girls surpass boys in reading, but this doesn't mean that boys struggle. Girls are better readers than boys by a small margin, but gaps vary by age, race, and ethnicity. In recent decades, girls have been enrolling in and graduating from college in greater numbers than boys. Lastly, while progress has been made in reducing the gender pay gap, women still earn less than men on average, even when they have equivalent educational qualifications and career levels.
