Growth in Universities
The universities awarded more than 15,000 diplomas to women, which means a growth of 8 per cent compared to the year before. Of all men, approximately 13,000 got their masterdiploma, which is a growth of 5 per cent.



Last study year, again, more female students than male students graduated within higher education. In universities, this lead was even bigger compared to colleges.

Amongst higher vocational students, the difference between men and women is even bigger. Almost 27,000 male students graduated, against 35,000 female students. The type of study chosen by men and women makes no difference for the gap between the amount of graduated students.
So it is clear that women are doing better in education, right? But is that important? Men are still win-ning in one particular, and of course important, way… They still seem to earn more money than fe-male employees, because their starting salary is higher.
