Does Science Promote Women? Evidence from Academia 1973-2001

Many studies have shown that women are under-represented in tenured ranks in the sciences. We evaluate whether gender differences in the likelihood of obtaining a tenure track job, promotion to tenure, and promotion to full professor explain these facts using the 1973-2001 Survey of Doctorate

诸多研究均证实，理科领域的终身教职序列中女性占比显著偏低。本研究依托1973-2001年博士调查（Survey of Doctorate）数据集，通过分析个体获得终身教职轨道岗位、晋升终身教职以及晋升正教授的性别差异，检验上述现象是否可由此类性别差异予以解释。
