Project Description
Summary:
View help for Summary
While gender gaps in average math performance are close to zero in
developed countries, women are still strongly underrepresented among math high
performers. Using data from five successive waves of the Programme for
International Student Assessment (PISA), we show that this underrepresentation
is more severe in more unequal countries. This relationship holds for a wide
range of societal inequalities that are not directly related to gender. It is also
observed in other parts of the performance distribution and among various sets
of countries, including developing countries. Similar relationships are found in
science and reading. Such findings highlight how differences in socio-economic
and cultural factors can affect gender gaps in performance.
