The study posted by tofu in the other thread (pdf) lends yet more support to the contention that gender differences in math performance are sufficiently explained by social factors.

Skimming through the tables, I notice right away that gender differences in math scores are significantly correlated with indicators of such variables as:

- women emancipation;
- female economic activity rate;
- women political empowerment.
