Well, my opinion is that it's not more females in academia the real problem: in fact, it's only that girls finally understood that they can get pregnant later after their Phd and maybe after beginning their career becoming mothers too. The real problem is the gigantic bank loans required to attend the US universities: I think that economically it doesn't seem convenient going to any academia especially to those American ones: it occurs a lot of years to return back those money to the banks, and perhaps a good job is not yet on the horizon.
Today indeed the families have got actually a lot of troubles with their total annual revenues due to 2008 economic crisis and that huge losses of jobs and then to 2020-2021 pandemic crisis and very now because of the western countries energetic crisis triggered by the Ukraine Russian war. Not last, at least here in Italy there is a great problem regarding the meritocracy in hiring the teachers, so the teachers are not so able to teach any learning method neither making attractive the studying of the school matters to their pupils and students: I suspect it's a politic choice actually: less graduated students, less citizens who can ask governments about accounting of their decisions for the whole community.
