A Financial Times article found that young women outperform young men. They are more likely to go to higher education, their unemployment rate is lower than that of young men, the number of young women who are not in employment or looking for work and are not in training is lower than that of young men. In addition, in the UK, young women earn more than young men. They are better educated and more in demand than young men.
