Young women have higher education levels than men

Women's education levels have increased in the Czech Republic, as more than one-third of women aged 25 to 34, but only a quarter of men in the same age group, are university graduates, reports CTK.

According to data that the Czech Statistical Office presented earlier this month, the share of university graduates is generally lower in the older generation where it is higher among men than women.

In all education categories, men earn more than women. In the case of university graduates, this is also caused by the fact that women generally prevail in low-paid professions, such as teachers. The difference in the pay level is more significant in average figures since men more often occupy managerial posts. On average, women's salaries are more than one-fifth lower than men's.
