Abstract
In modern societies, it has been observed that gender inequalities in educational participation have decreased with the increase in educational participation rates. Since the 1990s, a new phenomenon in economically developed countries has been discussed: men lagging in educational processes. With the elimination of gender inequalities in educational participation in countries such as the USA, England, and Australia, it has been observed that male students are less successful in educational processes than female students. This issue continues to be widely discussed in these countries. In Turkey, factors such as urbanization, industrialization, globalization, the differentiation of employment areas, and the expansion of education drive social transformation. It is possible to track social change through data. One such data source is education statistics. In Turkey, it can be observed that gender inequality in access to education has been eliminated since the 2010s, especially with the increase in the participation rate in basic and compulsory education. However, males lagging in education, observed in urbanized, economically developed countries where education is widespread, is also an emerging trend in Turkey. Statistics published by the Ministry of National Education and the Higher Education Council show that males in Turkey have started to fall behind in education. This research shows that men in Turkey are statistically lagging behind women in the educational process and employment in the education sector.
