In most countries, a sizable minority of people affirms that education is more important for a boy than for a girl (Panel D). The share has decreased in a number of countries (most notably Peru and Morocco), while it has increased in others (e.g. India and South Africa). While international comparisons may suffer from subjectivity in the interpretation of survey questions, the anti-egalitarian views captured by WVS display strong negative correlations with female employment rates and with the gender pay gap across OECD countries (Fortin, 2005).
