In fact, the US continues to have the highest economic output b/c we achieve almost exact parity in education (99 girls to 100 boys or vice versa depending on the natural ebb and flow of population).

Also, the growing power and number of women isn’t so much the rise of women as it is the leveling off of an unusual phenomenon that we called the “baby boom”. It doesn’t detract from women, it’s just that many of these statistics are misleading. The post-war generation up to those born in the 60s were part of a baby boom, which was disproportianately skewed towards males. About 4 males were born for every 1 female. This actually helped the economy since it replaced the losses incurred during the war. Because of this, the US was able to get closer to gender parity of 1:1 male to female, though it was closer to 1.35:1 male to female.

Now, however, the baby-boomers are retiring and dying, and their children are established in the workplace. Of course, there is no baby-boom since, the births are now about equal, with a slight advantage towards females 1.03:1 female to male. Therefore, the numbers you quote are really evanescent as it really represents the dying off of an usually male-dominated generation. Some could also argue that is’s simply evolution, as the presence of a male-dominated generation would necessitate the female population to increase which would explain why the past two generations have been skewed towards the female.
