The income table depicts the higher earnings for women with higher levels of education compared to those with less. Higher wage earnings would allow for, potentially, a positive change in the socioeconomic status.
This chart also depicts the disparity of wage earnings between women and men across all levels of education. Even with the benefit of a higher education women still receive lower wages. The "fair field" of wage earnings is already unbalanced for women with or without an education if considering the information given in these statistics. How can a woman with such a disadvantage be equipped to fight this imbalance?
