Good news: Numbers show 25-29 Black population gender gap, highest education gender gap have closed

[DrBanneker]

Do you have an article or more information on this situation?


Why would Black males have a higher infant mortality than Black females.

I'll look stuff up to post later. I don't have any idea how the gap started but it was an issue for a while.

 

[IsThatBrothaMouzone?]

Nah, in the 1980s and 1990s Black male infant mortality was much higher which is why twenty-something women had a gap for a while.

Yup....Basically Millenial brehs was outchea eating well.

We could run through ridiculous numbers of women without even swirling. Add swirl numbers and the stats get way out of hand.

Gen Z is facing a more "even" gendered dating market

Maybe the increasing anxiety among young black men about their dating prospects is in part due to the closing of the gender gap? In other words, previous generations of black men may have had it easier due to a more favorable sex ratio.

That doesn’t matter, they’re still going to repeat the same old talking points.

Matter of fact, they’re going to come in here and call all three of us incels for pointing this out.

The gay argument was one I always thought was confusing. Not only just 5% of BM identifying as gay--an equal percent of BW probably identify as lesbian and were never in the damn market for Black men so it cancels out for the hetero women

Latest numbers from the US Census and the Department of education for 2021 have come out and the news is surprisingly good for Black folks.

On one front, the latest Census population estimates show that the number of Black men and women in the 25-29 age category (prime for dating and family formation) have equalized. As late as 2010 there were 100k more Black women than men in this age group due to the effects of previously higher Black male infant mortality rates and the echoes of the crack wars in the 80s and 90s. Some of this may be due to immigration but that age range is too small for immigration to account for most of the gap reduction. Gen Z doesn't and won't have the same issues of numerically less Black men that previous generations did. There are a little under 2M each of Black men and Black women 25-29 now.

See the data here.

Second, the Department of Education numbers for 2021, despite showing issues in college participation and the persistent gap between Black women and men 25-29 with at least a Bachelor's degree (12 percent), have shown that within statistical error margins, the percent of Black men and women 25-29 with at least a Master's degree or higher has equalized. Same for Hispanic men and women. So Black men have a lower bachelor's degree rate but percentage wise more are going on to get more education now after college than female counterparts. I can't really say in what fields.

Speaking of gender gaps though, these are headed to around 9-12% for all races it seems. The biggest change is with White men and women. White women and Black women passed the men in around 2000 when the gap was about 3% for White women and 9% for Black women for Bachelors degree and higher. Since then Black women have only seen their gap increase about 33% while White women have seen theirs grow 3X.

Therefore the education gender gap for White women is now statistically identical to what Black women started seeing in 2000.

See data here, especially table 104.20.

Now the effects on domestic politics and the dating situation, both among Whites and IR, is going to be interesting but could be frightful. College age White women will have to actually compete for a smaller pool of equally educated White men and this could be more crazy than anything Black women ever did. Especially if they are confronted with IR competition from Asians, Latinas, or even Black women. Black women and men couldn't cause bigger power dynamics issues due to our dating/marriage issues because we have relatively little power. That's not the story with White folks.

There are currently White pundits saying the labor market should "reevaluate" (read: devalue) college credentials so White men without college degrees aren't left behind.

If you think redpill/MRA are bad now. Hold on to your hats....

This is really good news. The fact that the advanced degree rates are equal means that when Black Men go to school they don't take as many underwater basket weaving classes.

We all know that some of the those "college degrees". That women got were criminal justice degrees from Johnson & Wales College (where Blac Chyna and Lil Wanye's BM went to)

New Rules

Y’all lame ass Nikkas who weren’t getting buns before going to be getting less now with more competition

That was always the case.

Yeah that bullshyt doesn't matter, what does matter is more Black Men, That means less abortions as the Morning after pill came out, Less mass incarceration and most importantly more Brothers being on the their purpose and moving accordingly.

 

[Wiseborn]

So these Gen Z Black males are raising themselves? Interesting, friend.

Nah Gen Xérs looking to break the chains of single parenthood or even just Men just providing and nothing else as changed.

Black Men are already the most invovled fathers in america.

Is there a URL for this? All I see is a spreadsheet for population numbers.

 

[Wiseborn]

Nah, in the 1980s and 1990s Black male infant mortality was much higher which is why twenty-something women had a gap for a while.

shyt give the democrats their props for the decrease in Infant mortality, Increasing abortions from women who did not and should not have children and throwing money into well baby programs helped.

Also more knowledge in general and people being more health conscious helped.

Stop down playing people degrees even Black people in STEM face employment discrimination.

Of course we need more STEM degree holders but down playing other people is not useful

Economy is still stagnant with majority in debt

I mean, Cuba has tons of highly educated poor people.

These stats are good to know, but all the thread arguements are based on a dead end value system, that bows down to worship money and wealth

People dont use common sense though, marriage is actually a quick path out of poverty with 2 incomes being better than one, regardless of who makes more but people suck at math. Unfortunately this backwards dead value system says get rich first before getting married, which everybody CAN NOT do alone, and will not do..... makes no sense.

One could say all these negative outcomes happenend when the two income family was invented. Before Wold War I the vast majority of people lived with not only their mother and father but their grandparents and uncles aunts nieces and nephews.

So Black men have a lower bachelor's degree rate but percentage wise more are going on to get more education now after college than female counterparts.

that doesn't mean education parity...

but good, yall late millennials and gen z black been radicalized to hate each other, one less divider.

 

[Shadow King]

so gen X black women have less degrees

Millennials black women have more degrees

Gen z black women and men are about the same?

Black men had a little hiccup during the crack Epidemic, but we coming back strong! Lmao

25-29 are at the tail end but are still mostly Millennials

No I'm saying when Clinton rolled back Welfare single momma's on assistance had to go to school or work. Then came all these for profit degree mills.

The Sheas used that as a cudgel to shyt on Black Men who got blue collar jobs (making way more than Black women) who got low level pink collar jobs.

I agree education for education's sake is a overall good thing but a Barrista looking down on a pipewelder is insane.
