"one sex is the primary beneficiary. Though young women in their late teens and early 20’s view today’s economic lull as an opportunity to upgrade their skills, their male counterparts are more likely to take whatever job they can find. The longer-term consequences, economists say, are that the next generation of women may have a significant advantage over their male counterparts, whose career options are already becoming constrained" It seems to me that the already strong, decades-long trend, of Women out-educating males is only accelerating in the current economic malaise. When the economy turns, eventually, it seems obvious that the Girls will have strengthened their economic gains even further. Just another example of Women thinking long term and strategically. The boys seem to be "stuck in a moment they can't get out of".
