Post-Secondary Education: National Household Survey

National Household Survey: Nearly two-thirds of the adult population reported having post-secondary qualifications in 2011, according to the latest release of data Wednesday from Statistics Canada's National Household Survey, the replacement for the cancelled long-form census, according to Huffington Post. By gender, 64.8 per cent of working-age women now have a post-secondary education, compared with 63.4 per cent of men. It's the first time females have bypassed males in overall educational attainment. And the gender gap grows by leaps and bounds as the level of education increases and OTTAWA - Canada has become a perplexing nation of high education one in which women have dramatically surpassed men in their schooling, but remain congregated in traditional pink ghettos when it comes to the world of work. That's up from 60.7 per cent in 2006, and a stunning turnaround from the four per cent of Canadians who had a university education in 1961. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
