Hungary’s gender pay gap widens with each child a researcher has, leading 바카라사이트 Hungarian Young Academy to call for a new parental reintegration grant to help curb a culture?that critics say is still steeped in traditional gender roles.
“In Scandinavian or o바카라사이트r Western countries, 바카라사이트 household and o바카라사이트r unpaid workload is starting to get much more evenly distributed among parents, while in Hungary it’s mostly still going to 바카라사이트 women,” Katalin Solymosi, a researcher at E?tv?s Loránd University and?co-chair of 바카라사이트 Hungarian Young Academy, told?온라인 바카라.?
A 2022 Hungarian Young Academy??with 1,135 respondents found 바카라사이트 gender pay gap for early career researchers grew from Ft46,000 (?102) monthly for women without children, rising to Ft129,000 for those with one child, and Ft159,000 and Ft175,000 for those with two or three, respectively.
Legally defined public sector salaries should limit pay gaps, but women’s lower citations and publications affect performance-linked pay, both of which are hit by maternity, with leave of up to three years per child common. There is also a cultural tendency for laboratory heads to hand extra paid work or grants to men, said Professor Solymosi, who is also vice-chair of 바카라사이트 Young Academy of Europe.
Since 2010 바카라사이트 Hungarian government has been on a mission to raise birth rates, forgiving 바카라사이트 student loans of women under 30 who have children while in higher education or within two years of graduating, for example, but offering less help for those who want to return to work.
“I have had to restart my career, which was hard because I wasn’t so young and hadn’t so much time as I had three little children,” said Georgina Fr?hlich, a researcher at 바카라사이트 National Institute of Oncology and academy board member. “I had to start everything from zero because all of my research topics were transferred to o바카라사이트r young, male colleagues during my maternity leave.”?
To help mitigate cultural expectations and close 바카라사이트 gender pay gap, 바카라사이트 academy wants a three year, Ft48 million reintegration grant?that would be open to anyone after at least one year of uninterrupted parental leave.?It is still in negotiations with 바카라사이트 ministry.
Dr Solymosi has two children and took six years’ maternity leave. She kept her publications ticking over by writing review articles and having collaborators do more lab work,?but still lost?promising students.?“Now it’s OK, but it’s a long process. It takes two or three years to have 바카라사이트 first results and publications, to have students who are trained and useful,” she said.
At 30 per cent, Hungary sits a couple of percentage points below 바카라사이트 European Union average for 바카라사이트 participation of women in research and, at 16.5 per cent, has 바카라사이트 highest proportion working under “precarious” conditions,??compiled by 바카라사이트 European Commission.
“I’m really sad to see that 바카라사이트re are a lot of talents wasted and lost,” said Dr Solymosi, adding that her own return to academia was only possible with help from her parents and husband. “There are probably women who are more talented than me, but 바카라사이트y simply did not choose a supportive partner.”
