[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it because most British women are better educated and do more schooling than 4 years of undergraduate studies? I was 32 when I finished my formal education. Iff I had wanted to have children before age 30, it would have been doing part time studies and taking longer to finish my schooling.

No doubt that it continues to be a challenge to be have a career and be a parent as a woman. Not sure why this post is significant. [/quote]
I think the British have the same problem that the US does -- more women than men getting college degrees.

Apparently, they need affirmative action for poor white boys, because poor black and Asian boys have a higher rate of college education than poor white boys.

[quote]Among white boys from disadvantaged families only about 10% will go to university - the lowest of any social or ethnic group.

Deprived boys from other ethnic backgrounds, such as black and Asian, are much more likely to go to university.

"That is why our recent university access guidance for the first time called for specific support for white boys from the poorest homes."[/quote]

A college education means more to lower income people than middle income, and more so if you are not white.  Given that the UK is like almost 80% white, it makes sense that white British women have a harder time finding partners with equal SES backgrounds.[/quote]
