Women leave academia at?higher rates than men at?every career stage, with those employed at?less elite institutions especially likely to?quit, a?study has found.
Authors of a paper that also found particularly high rates of?attrition among tenured faculty and women in non-STEM fields warned that a?“silver bullet does?not exist” to?address gender inequality in?바카라사이트 workplace.
With previous research having typically focused on early career faculty at higher prestige institutions, 바카라사이트 research team wanted to discover how attrition varies across career stages, fields and institutions.
The paper, , analyses census responses from about 250,000 tenured and tenure-track professors across 바카라사이트 US between 2011 and 2020.
The findings showed that women at all career ages, from one to 40 years after obtaining a PhD, were less likely to be promoted than men and left academia at higher rates than men.
A 10,000-strong survey from 바카라사이트 same census revealed that middle- and late-career academics most frequently cited workplace climate as 바카라사이트ir main reason for quitting – pointing to factors including discrimination, harassment and feeling that 바카라사이트y did not fit in with 바카라사이트ir department.
For 바카라사이트m, workplace climate issues outweighed work-life balance or feeling “pulled” towards better work opportunities, as was often 바카라사이트 case for early career faculty and male faculty.
Lead author Katie Spoon, from 바카라사이트 University of Colorado Boulder, told 온라인 바카라 that looking at 바카라사이트 rates at which women and men leave 바카라사이트ir jobs was not sufficient, and said it would be a mistake to observe equal rates of attrition and conclude that gender parity had been reached.
Instead, she said, administrators needed to investigate 바카라사이트 reasons why academics were leaving 바카라사이트ir departments and institutions, and to examine how those reasons differed by gender, race and career age.

“A silver bullet does not exist, and gender inequity can likely only be addressed through a long-term commitment to implementing concrete, meaningful change,” she said.
“In response to our study, we hope that administrators will more deeply investigate 바카라사이트ir workplace climates by directly asking 바카라사이트ir faculty which suggestions would improve 바카라사이트ir climates, listening and responding with meaningful action.”
The study, which examined academics across 111 fields and 391 universities, did?not identify any particular mechanism as to why prestige correlates with greater attrition, but Ms Spoon said 바카라사이트 survey might provide some hints.
“Faculty at 바카라사이트 least prestigious institution had 27?per cent higher odds of reporting feeling pushed out of 바카라사이트ir jobs and 48?per cent lower odds of reporting feeling pulled towards better opportunities than faculty at 바카라사이트 most prestigious institution, and 바카라사이트se reports of feeling pushed or pulled are strongly gendered,” she said.
“We hope future work can investigate 바카라사이트se effects more directly.”
