BENGALURU: 21^st century women have achieved all the higher limits that were once a taboo to their past generation. A woman can be seen effecting the growth of all the sectors, be it politics, aviation, technology or be it studies. This is not a blank statement but a proved endeavor, as it has been proved in a report released by Pew Research Center. Women grabbed the first bench not only in the classrooms but also at their work.

Women now-a-days are not only attaining bachelor’s degrees at a fast rate, but are even surpassing men in that order. Pew’s research shows that almost 27 percent of women within the age of 18 to 33, hold a bachelor’s degree in minimum, whereas that for men its only 21 percent.

The survey broke all the myths and showed that among women of 69 to 86 years of age, almost 20 percent hold a bachelor’s degree. Though the focus is on the millennial women, but it’s strange to notice that even after three generations later women are gaining a graduation degree at a rate of 20 percent. Men on other hand are opting for such educational age at an older age by only 9 percent.

Eileen Patten and Richard Fry, two persons from Pew wrote, “The educational trajectory of young women across the generations has been especially steep.”

Though young women workforce lags behind the men’s by 5 percent, the share of the entire woman workforce has jumped up to 28 percent and all thanks to the elder generation which is also called as the ‘silent generation’. Surprisingly the share of men’s workforce dropped down by 10 percent.
