2024. RESEARCH REPORT: Gender segregation in professional pre-higher and higher education
Cedos
Recovery demands significant effort, human resources, and competences. Education is the key institution that provides these skills and knowledge. Inequalities in education may affect how the recovery will be organized and which inequalities will be reinforced or provoked as a result.
This study aims to describe the horizontal gender segregation in professional pre-higher and higher education in Ukraine as of 2024.
The data used for the analysis is obtained in response to a public information request from the Inforesource State Enterprise, which manages the Unified State Electronic Database on Education (USEDE).
This brief seeks to search for answers to the following questions:
- – how widespread horizontal gender segregation in professional pre-higher and higher education is, how many specializations and students it affects;
- – whether gender segregation varies depending on the education level, region, education institution, and form of payment for tuition;
- – whether the behavior of women and men differs while choosing their specialization and the education institution they apply to.
