Finding that early gender gaps drive career choices and employment opportunities, OECD released a report on gender gaps, The ABC of Gender Equality in Education: Aptitude, Behaviour and Confidence.

And today at 12:15 p.m., Education Next will host an event to discuss the state of the American family and education on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Moynihan Report. Live webcast here.
