I think the numbers over the last 40 years show a clear problem. I speculate on some reasons and I am sure there are others. I think educating men simply isn't a priority like educating woman for the workforce seems to be.

If the number were reversed and women were only 40% of college students we would hear no end of it and programs would be launched immediately to close the gap.
