Win4Science: The Gender Gap – What is the cause?
Young women scientists are leaving academia in pronounced numbers. Women earn about half the doctorates but comprise only 21% of full science professors. The greatest numbers of attrition occur at Ph.D. and Postdoctoral fellow’s level because women are often compelled to choose between motherhood and career. Not only is there is intense competition at a career stage that coincides with optimal fertility, but there is a lack of visible role models and the existence of tacit/overt discrimination and unconscious bias remains.
