College enrollment for young men has declined significantly over the last decade, with about one million fewer men attending college last year compared to 2011.
This has led to a gender gap in college attendance, with men making up only 44% of young college students.
The decline is particularly pronounced among white high school graduates, where the enrollment gap between men and women has widened. (Trending: Judge Announces Historic Ruling In Jeffrey Epstein Case)
“About half of young white women who have graduated high school are enrolled in college, compared to 40% of their male counterparts,” the report noted.
“In 2011, 52% of those young women were enrolled, and 49% of men — a much smaller gap.”
“Only 39% of young men who have graduated high school are attending college now, down from 47% in 2011.”
“Meanwhile, 48% of young women who have graduated high school are attending college, down only 1% from 2011,” the report added.
Concerns about student loans, the economic impact of the pandemic, and difficulties with remote learning during COVID restrictions are among the factors contributing to the decline in college enrollment.
