Over half of all Latin Americans have enrolled in some form of tertiary education, which refers to the university level and above (graduate school, etc.). The rise from the figures of the early 1970s to today have been drastic, seeing nearly uninterrupted growth.
I don’t get the percentages… I know for certain 60% of men don’t go to college in the US, so I can’t figure out what those numbers mean

Perhaps we should start men-only programs to achieve equality

No feminist is going to say that we have to fix this inequality

The disparity between male and female enrollment in Argentina is huge.

This data isn’t beatiful. Having significantly more than 100% in some cases is a clear indicator, that under- and overage people according to the statistic have a big influence on the overall number. But it is impossible to tell how big that influence is.
And it is a very different discussion, whether the dominance of women is present in normal college age groups, or if it is only an artefact, of women living longer and attending senior university classes.

Graph is not colour blind friendly. Cannot determine male or female based on colour alone. Perhaps add different shapes as well.

That’s unfair – men should get extra points during admission for equity’s sake

Try MINT / STEM field courses…. rarely seen there

Well, makes sense, as men are more likely to go into trades / physical labor jobs that do not require a college degree.

Even after reading the disclaimer, I still don’t understand how the numbers are over 100%

Data is beautiful…
…140% of Argentinian women are in college.
Yep, fits this sub perfectly.
