In order to calculate the cost-of-living differential between male and female students, the source included in its study expense items that differed in amount depending on the gender assigned, like clothing and underwear.

Cisgender male students spent on average 339.21 euros per year on clothing, this item of expenditure represented more than 400 euros per year for female students.

* Cisgender is a term used to describe people who feels that they are the same gender as the physical body they were born with.
The source adds the following information: "The amount of each item of expenditure is based on different sources: articles by journalists from Le Monde, Le Nouvel Obs and Rue 69 who have estimated the specific expenditure of women, data from Santé Publique France and the public database on drugs. INSEE data allowed us to update these figures for this year."
