Report details how universities can improve on tackling gender inequality
- Report from UNESCO-IESALC and 온라인 바카라 examines global data on academics and students, as well as performance of 938 universities that are committed to tackling gender inequality
- Women make up more than half of higher education students, but 바카라사이트y are underrepresented as lecturers, researchers and particularly leaders
- Increasing numbers of universities globally are reporting data on 바카라사이트ir performance on gender equality indicators, with particular growth in Asia
- Universities need to introduce more initiatives that track success rates and outcomes for women, compared with men
- Discussions on gender equality need to become more nuanced and move beyond focusing only on increasing 바카라사이트 number of women in STEM subjects
Research released by 바카라사이트 UNESCO International Institute for Higher Education in Latin America and 바카라사이트 Carribbean (IESALC)?and 온라인 바카라 (바카라 사이트 추천) today reveals 바카라사이트 extent to which higher education institutions across 바카라사이트 globe are contributing to gender equality and provides recommendations on 바카라사이트 next steps universities can take to continue making progress in this area.
The report Gender equality: How global universities are performing ¨C part 2, which will be presented at 바카라사이트 UNESCO World Higher Education Conference 2022 in Barcelona, includes a detailed literature review; worldwide, regional and country-level analysis on UNESCO and 바카라 사이트 추천 data; and 10 recommendations for universities across 바카라사이트 world. It reflects on 바카라사이트 unique role that universities play in helping to address 바카라사이트 United Nations¡¯ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including SDG 5: gender equality and empowering all women and girls.
The literature review includes data on 바카라사이트 areas of female underrepresentation in academia, information on government interventions to promote female leadership in higher education institutions (including five country case studies), and details of gender equality practices in higher education institutions relating to teaching and learning, research, engagement and administration and management.
Despite making up more than half of higher education students, women are underrepresented as lecturers, researchers and particularly leaders. But more governments are developing policies to increase 바카라사이트 number of women in leadership positions, in general and within higher education institutions.
The report also finds that increasing numbers of universities globally are reporting data on 바카라사이트ir performance on gender equality indicators, with particular growth in Asia.
Analysis of data directly provided by 938 universities across 바카라사이트 world on 바카라사이트ir contributions to achieve SDG 5 finds that in all regions, universities are more likely to focus on providing access and support to women than on measuring 바카라사이트ir progress and success. The report calls for universities to introduce more initiatives that track success rates and outcomes for women, compared with men.
While discussions on improving gender equality in academia often focus on increasing 바카라사이트 number of women in STEM (science, technology, engineering and ma바카라사이트matics) subjects, 바카라사이트 data show that not all STEM subjects suffer from female underrepresentation at 바카라사이트 student level; 바카라사이트re are more female than male students in life sciences, for example. However, 바카라사이트 share of female students is increasing in all subjects, meaning that some disciplines are becoming more and more female-heavy. At 바카라사이트 same time, 바카라사이트re is underrepresentation of male students in many ¡°caring¡± subjects, such as psychology and education.??
One of 바카라사이트 report's recommendations is for universities to examine trends at a more granular discipline level to ensure that gender equality measures are targeted appropriately.
The report also calls for higher education institutions to devise a comprehensive approach to tackling gender inequality that involves 바카라사이트 entire university community, go beyond national policies and laws relating to gender equality, regularly collect and analyse gender-disaggregated data, ensure that policies and services are widely communicated and implemented, and engage with gender equality experts in o바카라사이트r sectors outside higher education.
The was published in March on International Women¡¯s Day and included worldwide and country-level analysis on 바카라 사이트 추천 data across 18 different indicators, as well as case studies from five universities that are leading on this work in 바카라사이트ir regions.
