Why do women read more than men? This question has been debated for years, with no clear consensus. However, some theories may help to explain this phenomenon.<\/p>\n

Another possibility is that women tend to live longer than men. With more time on their hands, they have the opportunity to read more. Additionally, older adults are generally more likely to read than younger people. So, this could also be a factor in the higher reading rates among women.<\/p>\n

It’s also worth noting that women are more likely to have higher levels of education than men<\/a>. This means that they’re exposed to more complex writing and can better understand it. Therefore, they may be more inclined to read for pleasure.<\/p>\n
