Women in Academia

Paper Summary:

This paper looks at women in academia and the discrepancies between the hiring of women and men at prestigious research universities. The paper discusses some of the reasons men are hired rather than women and the strides women have made in reducing this inequality. It compares numbers of graduates at various levels by gender and their employment numbers and looks at efforts universities are extending to hire more women.

From the Paper:

"Although women have made great strides in academia in the last few years, they still trail behind men in terms of numbers hired, speed of promotion and salaries. They still face subtle discrimination. Only recently have major research institutions begun to address the issues and make a concerted effort to increase the hiring of women."
