Although women generally have higher educational attainment, there is a large gender gap in earnings between male and female full-time workers with tertiary education. In the United States, among adults with tertiary education, women earn only 68% of what men earn. This gender gap of 32% is larger than for other OECD countries except for Brazil, Chile, Israel, Mexico and the Slovak Republic. The same gender gap (32%) is observed in the United States for 35-44 year-olds and 55-64 year-olds, signalling that the difference in earnings between men and women is not decreasing among the younger generation (Figure 2).
