Why is the salary of female kindergarten teachers relatively low, while that of male kindergarten teachers is generally twice as high?

In recent years, the proportion of male and female teachers in China is seriously unbalanced, especially in the field of preschool education. In order to reconcile the imbalance, the salary of female kindergarten teachers is relatively low, while that of male kindergarten teachers is generally twice as high.

First of all, the ratio of male kindergarten teachers to female kindergarten teachers is seriously unbalanced. In recent years, most parents pay more and more attention to kindergarten education. There are more and more children in kindergartens, and the demand for kindergarten teachers also increases. However, kindergartens are basically female teachers, and most of the preschool graduates are girls, which causes the imbalance of preschool education between men and women and has a certain impact on children's education. Therefore, there will be some preferential treatment for the recruitment of male kindergarten teachers in kindergartens, which is also to promote the balanced development of preschool education.

The second reason is that preschool education has no development prospects and room for improvement. This is an important reason for the higher salary of male kindergarten teachers. Girls generally pursue stability, as long as their jobs are stable, they will be rich, while men pursue development and have room for promotion and salary increase, because men are the economic pillars supporting a family in the family, and he can't just be satisfied with himself, and his responsibilities and mission make him unable to be satisfied with the status quo; Secondly, the social status of preschool education is low. Some people think that there is no future and no challenge for boys to do preschool education. In order to attract more male kindergarten teachers, it is also a way to improve the salary level of male kindergarten teachers.

The third reason is the lack of teachers for male kindergarten teachers. Many normal colleges are mostly girls, while preschool education majors are more obvious, almost all of them are girls, probably because girls are more careful, kind and easy to get in touch with children, and gentleness itself will be patient with others. Many girls like liberal arts, which also leads to too many kindergarten teachers and girls; Boys, on the other hand, are more rational. Most of them study science and may not have much patience with their children. Secondly, considering the development of this industry, the lack of male kindergarten teachers makes this position more necessary, so they use salaries to attract male kindergarten teachers. The scarcer it is, the rarer it is, and then the value will rise.
