academic achievement, employability, living conditions … the French are not equal. Depending on whether they are male or female, but also depending on the region in which they live, disparities persist, according to a study by INSEE published Monday, March 7. While overall, women “do better academically,” are “men who occupy the more often a job that meets their level of education” , stresses INSEE, with disparities between territories. Tour de France geographical inequalities
Brittany and the Loire Valley
The west of mainland France stands. Britain and to a lesser measure the Loire have low school achievement gaps between the sexes. For example, the success rate for the baccalaureate is 94% for girls in 2014 and 93% for boys.
Ile-de-France
in contrast, in the Ile-de-France girls are clearly very different in terms of success in the baccalaureate, but the differences are smoothed by the effect of residential migration to the capital region. Finally, the tertiary graduation rate is 44% for men (against 32% nationally) and 48% for women (against 38% on average).
At the market Labour, the Ile-de-France is also the region where the gaps are smallest. Men and women are almost equally active so …. But on the other hand, in terms of salaries, the wage gap between the sexes is still very important, 19.9% at the expense of women in 2012, while the national average is 19.3%.
the Nord-Pas-de-Calais, Picardie
If the west is distinguished by its successful youth bachelor, Nord-Pas-de-Calais Picardy makes him the opposite. Here no inequality, “Girls and boys have more difficulties at school.” A difficulty with the general stream, which logically leads the boys to move towards vocational streams (+ 4 1% from the average). In this region with heavy social problems, it is an overrepresentation of single women in the study. A phenomenon explained by the fact that men leave the parental home later … and their mortality.
Corsica
In the regions, where unemployment is lower or higher than the national average, it is for both sexes. This rule is an exception: Corsica. While young Corsican girls are the first in France to their success rate bachelor, women are more than the French average affected by unemployment, while men are not.
The parity politics is not the prerogative of beauty of the island, while the law of 17 May 2013 on local elections requires that boards (municipal, departmental, community) are compounds parity. But the law does not impose anything on the gender of the person elected to lead these communities. In Corsica, the share of women mayors is 11.2%, red lantern of parity in France, even if 83% of communes in France are run by men.

beyond territorial disparities, women are more successful in school, but it is men who are ” better off in the labor market “, say the study authors. Women also experience more unemployment and earn less. They are more often than men jobs below their educational level and more often work part-time, often after the birth of a child.
