I think both parents (or especially the woman) working is probably the big part of it. But I don't think many people factor the cost of university degrees into their decision (whether they should is another matter)
- elliekelly 8y ago> I think both parents (or especially the woman) Why do you say especially the woman? Not trying to pick a fight, I'm genuinely curious.
- pferde 8y agoBecause traditionally, staying at home taking care of kids has been usually done by women.
- eloff 8y agoNever mind traditionally, this is still true, even in the most egalitarian countries (Scandinavian countries). Women have to choose between family and career, men don't really have to do that. The biggest driver behind the gender pay gap is the difference between women with children and women without. Somehow we haven't solved the issue that it's a cost borne primarily by women.
