I hele Den Europæiske Union vælger kvinder således i hojere grad end mænd de humanistiske fag, kunst, religion, jura og medicin samt de fag, der horer under kategorien »andet«, som især omfatter læreruddannelsen.
Throughout the European Union, women choose humanities, religion and fine arts, law, medical sciences, health and hygiene, and non-classified disciplines, including in particular teacher training, more often than men.
