Female graduates earn the same as males with A levels - £22,000-£23,000 aged 30 to 50 years. Male graduates earn about £13,000 more.
Females with A levels earn between £10,000 and £12,000. This shows the fallacy of relative graduate premium.
Should females pay for an education to give them equality with lesser educated males?
