    Could you expand on that a bit? This gender equality paradox is new to me, and I read it’s a disputed finding on worse gender inequalities in nations that are typically perceived as more progressive when it comes to gender equality. Leaving the dispute aside for a bit and assuming this is a straight up observed scientific that’s actually real, I don’t really see how a larger than expected gender inequality in, say, Denmark, makes higher rates of education in another nation a bad thing. Not saying it isn’t, just saying this line of thinking is new to me, and I’m not able to find the link just yet.

      I’m gonna guess and say that fewer women are in higher education, and the ones that are are progidies. Therefore higher graduation rates for women.

        First of all, why guess?

        Secondly, I don’t see the link with gender inequality in Denmark.

          Not sure why the immediate defense, but I’m just guessing why women have a higher graduation rate. Idk.

            Ah sorry, I thought you were the gender equality paradox guy I replied to. I’m quite keen to learn a bit more about it.
