I would like to know the professions where females are more than males in this world.
In the US workforce, women dominate the nursing profession (92%), social services professions, and teaching professions. However, the most important trend is that the number of women now in graduate education outnumbers men. They are moving into the more advanced professions. In 2022, 8% of men and 12% of women earned an advanced degree. Medical schools, law schools, dental schools and pharmacy programs all graduate more women than men. Here's a link to international information. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1099789/distribution-of-physicians-across-regions-worldwide-by-gender/
Women are also increasing attendance in business schools but not yet at a higher rate than men. One explanation for this is the current legal freedom for women to enter colleges. The other explanation is simple math. IQ scores are said to be equally distributed between men and women and typically graduate schools require IQ scores above 115 - 120 at a minimum. That means that in 2023, approximately 51% of these higher-IQ individuals were females and now allowed, legally and culturally, to attend graduate schools.
It will be interesting to know how many countries legally support women getting advanced degrees.
Good luck with your project!
