Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This paper employs a comparative framework to examine patterns in gender disparities in educational attainment over time for Whites, Blacks, Mexican-Americans, and Puerto-Rican Americans, from 1960-2000. An examination of U.S. Census data reveals that while the gender gaps and patterns are not uniform across all four groups, a female advantage in both college and high school graduation is evident for all groups by 2000. Among African-Americans, females have consistently attained more education overall than their male counterparts since 1960; the phenomenon is more recent for Latinos and Whites. The aggregate data patterns lend some support to explanations focusing on the role of gender role socialization, and teachers’ gendered and racialized expectations and treatment of students. In addition, findings of an analysis of trends in female-headed households over the same period suggest that part of the growing female advantage may be due to changing family formation patterns and a differential negative effect for boys of growing up without a father present.
