Marina Baskakova, is working on an individual research project, "Gender
Aspects of Investments into Human Capital" funded by the
John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. The author proceeds
from the hypothesis that real benefit from higher education differ significantly
between men and women. The benefits yielded by education are formed in
the sphere of employment, which is marked by discrimination on the basis
of gender and by the attitude that women comprise a second-grade work
force. As a result, the positions of men and women are not equal; according
to different estimates the average wage of women in Russia vary from 70%
to 52% of that of men. Also, the period of paid employment is shorter
for women than for men because practically all social benefits intended
for all employees with family obligations are used mostly by women. This
gives grounds for concluding that women find it much more difficult to
recoup their educational expenses. The study is conducted on the basis
of the analysis of government statistics and statistical analysis of sociological
surveys, as well as with the help of mathematical modeling.
