If we study the average number of males and females in college today, it may be an indicator of what kind of parenting boys are given. The proportion of males and females in college classes has changed over the years. In the 1970s the proportion was approximately even. Fifty percent of college students were male and 50% were female.
However, since then that proportion has gradually changed. By the 1980s, the proportion was 45% male to 55% female. By the 1990s the proportion was about 40% male to 60% female. And by 2020, the proportion had risen to about about 35% male to 65% female–this according to Forbes. If this trend continues at the same rate, by the year 2050, there will be very few males in college.
