Post Secondary Enrolment and The Wage Gap

What is our issue?  

Concept: Gender Issue: The male/female wage gap 

More women go to college (university) than men but men still tend to make more money

Why is our issue important? 

There is a great disparity between men’s and women’s wages, and this goes against the trend that is expected, since women go to college more often and people who go to college should make more money than those who don’t

How is our issue related to lifelong learning? 

Participation in lifelong learning in the form of post-secondary education (namely university and college) SHOULD predict wage patterns in the workforce, but the opposite seems to be true

What are some alternative perspectives on the issue? 

What do you think? How might a positivist, an Interpretive Humanist, and a Radical Structuralist look at this issue?

What evidence will we look at about this issue 

Statistics  finding stats about graduation rates for men and women, about average salaries for men and women, average salaries for university or college grads and non-grads

Questions 

How do you think a positivist, interpretive humanist, and radical structuralist would approach this issue?
