A fascinating article about new research that shows women born since 1985 are now earning more than men and it is a trend set to carry on and deepen.
It also explores some of the problems that arise particularly in respect of the older generation of male who earns less than his wife.

The 1985 date is significant in respect of education. Since then there has been an ever increasing feminisation in education one example being course work replacing 'pass or fail' exam deadlines. Research shows that boys do better in the high pressure environment than girls who prefer course work.
I wonder if the exam changes proposed by Gove will help boys achieve better.
