🧠 Research Insight
How do college majors shape gender gaps?

Research from Chile by Campos, Muñoz, Bucarey and Contreras finds that college majors affect earnings, fertility and career paths. Gender differences in how students weigh earnings and family considerations explain roughly 30% of the gender earnings gap among graduates.

🔍 Gender-targeted admissions policies could help reduce gaps in representation and earnings.

📢 The bottom line: Educational choices shape more than future salaries. They also influence work-family balance and gender inequality long before careers begin.
