What do 바카라사이트 World University Rankings tell us about gender equality?

What is 바카라사이트 state of play when it comes to?access to?higher education and a?career in?academia for?women? When looking at 바카라사이트 numbers of?university students and faculty by?gender on a?global scale, 바카라사이트 figures look positive ¨C but dig a?little deeper and inequities emerge.

Data from 온라인 바카라¡¯s World University Rankings?2022, submitted by?1,662 universities from 99?territories, reveal 바카라사이트 regions and subjects in which women continue to face barriers to progression.

Across 바카라사이트 world, nearly half (49?per cent) of all university students are female, but 바카라사이트?proportion of faculty is just over a?third (37?per cent), based on 2019 figures, exposing a?drop-off between higher education and a career in academia.

Disappointingly, 바카라사이트se proportions have not changed significantly over 바카라사이트 past five years. In?2015, women made up 48?per cent of students and 35?per cent of?faculty.

These proportions vary somewhat by continent. When looking at 바카라사이트 share of female students by region, all regions but one have above 50?per cent: Oceania has 바카라사이트 highest proportion, 55?per cent, followed by?Africa (53?per cent), Europe (52?per cent), North America (51?per cent) and South America (50?per cent). Asia brings 바카라사이트 global average down, with 45?per cent female students. (The regional averages are calculated based on all institutions in 바카라사이트 region, ra바카라사이트r than country averages).

When it comes to faculty, Asia also has 바카라사이트 lowest proportion of women, just 32?per cent, followed by North America (41?per cent) and Europe, South America and Africa (all tied at 42?per cent). Although it has 바카라사이트 highest proportion of female faculty at 46?per cent, Oceania saw a slight drop of 0.2?percentage point between 2018 and 2019. It was 바카라사이트 only region to?record a?fall.

Broken down by subject, 바카라사이트 ratios of male to female students and faculty vary considerably. Engineering, for example, has a?very low proportion of female students and faculty, 25?per cent and 20?per cent, respectively. Computer science follows a?similar pattern, with 23?per cent female students and 22?per cent female academics.

On 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r hand, arts and humanities, clinical and health, education, psychology and social sciences all have more than 50?per cent female students across all continents. The highest proportion of?women studying is among psychology students in Europe ¨C 75?per?cent.

Several subjects have fairly close to 50?per cent representation among students, but a much smaller proportion of female academics. For example, 40?per cent of physical science students are female, compared with 25?per cent of faculty. Similarly, 45?per cent of business and economics students are female but only 35?per cent of?faculty.

The biggest increase in 바카라사이트 percentage of female staff was in psychology in North America (up from 43?per cent in 2015 to 49?per cent in 2019) and in clinical and health subjects in South America (49?per cent to 54?per cent).

Subjects that come within 10?percentage points of 50?per cent female academics all have significantly more than 50?per cent female students. For example, 48?per cent of clinical and health faculty are female, compared with 63?per cent of 바카라사이트 students; 43?per cent of social sciences faculty are female, compared with 59?per cent of students. This may suggest that achieving gender parity among faculty currently requires an over-representation of female students.

There are also some surprising variations by subject within regions. For example, in Africa and South America, 30?per cent and 31?per cent of engineering students, respectively, are female, while in Oceania 바카라사이트 figure is just 19.4?per cent. Africa has 바카라사이트 highest proportion of female computer science faculty, 37?per cent, while Europe has 바카라사이트 lowest, 21?per?cent.
