The average expected years of schooling is now the same for men and women, and since 2009 more women than men have been enrolling in tertiary general education. This progress has led to a more symmetric distribution of educational levels across the resident population, although the past still plays a role. For instance, proportionally more women than men have received no more than secondary education in the 25-64 age bracket: 71% versus 59% (Figure 2.1).
