Abstract
In contemprary societies, education is one of the most important foundations of the whole system of
social stratification. Today, an inherent prerequisite for social advancement is educational “credential”,
treated as symbolic manifestation of knowledge, skills, competencies , and mental characteristics
(attributes of the “man of success”). There is no doubt can that in recent decades there has been
a substantial increase in the educational aspirations of women. Howerer, many researches claim,
that the women’s and men’s choices of fields of study contribute to the reproduction of gender
inequality in society. On the other hand, the available data on the studying of women in the fields
typical of male deny such conviction. In general one can even say that there is an educational marginalization
of men in the field of higher educatrion and it is confirmed by statistical data. Analyses
of data concerning access women and men to the higher education show, that there is a “demographically
significant educational gap” in favor of women at this level of education and men are
increasingly deprived of access.
