Throughout the European Union, women choose humanities, religion and fine arts, law, medical sciences, health and hygiene, and non-classified disciplines, including in particular teacher training, more often than men.
I hele Den Europæiske Union vælger kvinder således i hojere grad end mænd de humanistiske fag, kunst, religion, jura og medicin samt de fag, der horer under kategorien »andet«, som især omfatter læreruddannelsen.
