People share their thoughts on the what's behind the higher education gender gap.

There are more programs promoting women's academic achievement than there are programs promoting young men's achievement.

Boys and young men are being pushed ahead in school before they're ready.

Some people pointed out that boys mature slower than girls, which may account for some of the disparity.

The Women's Bureau works to create parity for women in the workplace.

Boys tend to struggle with school more often, starting early on.

Boys are being failed, and at the same time being blamed for it.

There are surely many reasons for the gender gap in education, but whatever they are, the disparity has implications for the employment market and research in various fields.
