@ZohalHessami Dear Zohal, thanks a lot for your congratulations. We do not have a super clear response on mechanisms, but discuss quite some candidates in the paper. One reason is that girls do better in terms of grades, but this does not fully explain our results.
🤔How does being around more girls in primary school affect later careers and wages?
Women earn more after going to school with more girls. And, they choose less gender stereotypical jobs
