Young women now earn £2,200 more than men, according to a shock report.
It means the gender pay gap has reversed, tipping in favour of women for the first time in nearly a decade.
Experts blamed the sudden shift on a 'crisis' among boys and young men, warning that an entire generation is 'being left behind'.
'From the day they start primary school, to the day they leave higher education, the progress of boys lags behind girls,' said the Centre for Social Justice (CSJ) think-tank.
Girls are more likely to reach early learning development than boys and by A-level they outperform men by more than a grade and a half.
Once they are at university, women outnumber men three to two.
'At all stages of our education system, boys are behind,' the 'Lost Boys' report said.
It added: 'There is a crisis of masculinity in this country, a search for what it means to be a young man growing up in Britain today.'
These factors have led to females aged 16 to 24 earn, on average, £26,500 per year.
This is nearly a tenth more than their male counterparts on £24,300.
By comparison, just two years earlier, boys and young men had £1,000 more income than girls and young women.
But male wages have stagnated in recent years due to a combination of factors, with the report blaming the loss of 'male-dominated industries such as manufacturing, agriculture and construction' that provided 'secure, well-paid and meaningful jobs that used to be available to non-university educated young men'.
The CSJ highlighted how the number of 16 to 24-year-old males not in education, employment or training has surged by 40 per cent since the pandemic.
Men having a lack of self-esteem could also be causing men to hold themselves back from career progression.
